My current user experience is like following:
I just updated kept-back packages by mistake today by using apt install command. 
I thought it was due to a wrong mark of Manuel tag in apt and marked them with apt-mark auto again.
Then after a bit search in internet I realized that it is due to a phased update policy, which makes sense.

I think either message should not shown at all (as suggested above)
or if you want to show the list, please state somehow that this is only info and we do not have to do something about it, such as:
The following packages have been kept back as a part of phased update policy of Ubuntu:

Just stating packages are kept back, gives the impression that something
is broken in the dependency resolution.
