  $ sudo apt full-upgrade

  The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:
    bind9-dnsutils bind9-host bind9-libs file-roller python3-distupgrade
    ubuntu-release-upgrader-core ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.

  
  Imho it shouldn't say in the first message that 7 packages can be upgraded, as they are actually cannot be upgraded as they are being deferred. I would prefer nothing being mentioned or mention that 7 are deferred.
