The following NEW packages will be installed:
phased-new
The following updates have been deferred due to phasing:
phased phased-dep phased-depends-ready-dep
The following packages have been kept back:
depends-phased-dep ready-dep

2 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/126 B of archives.
After this operation, 43.0 kB of additional disk space will be used.
N: Some packages may have been kept back due to phasing.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
There may be a nicer way to do this.

Title:
When apt keeps back packages due to phased updates, it should list
them separately
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
After phased updates have been introduced, it may happen that apt
upgrade shows packages as upgradable but ends up not upgrading them.
In this case the packages are indicated as being "kept back".
Unfortunately, the feedback provided about this to the user is not
very informative. The user sees the packages being kept back and
thinks something is going wrong on the system.
When packages are kept back because of phased updates, apt should say
so e.g., it should say that the upgrade is delayed.
Incidentally note that aptitude does not respect phased updates.
