Its hard to reproduce, but when aptitude asks me to resolve

Indeed. Aptitude currently seems to prefer removals and downgrades
over keeps.
You can changed that yourself either with resolver hints (see
http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html) or resolver
costs (see http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/en/ch02s03s04.html).
It would be very nice if this could be improved, e.g. by
some algorithm looking for the least painful change and
presenting it first.
That'd be nice when running unstable, yes.
Not sure though if it's the best solution during dist-upgrades from
oldstable to stable.
Regards, Axel
