OK - I am still trying to figure out under what circumstances items are
"kept back". Are they kept back if upgrading them would cause the
installation of a new package, for example? In this case the
openssh-blacklist package was new...

In a couple of locations people have suggested using "dist-upgrade" but
as I understand it, that would try to upgrade me from Feisty to Gutsy,
which I don't want.
