No problem, and thanks for the reply after so long.

I will keep this open for the time being, at least until a subsequent
review.  There are other bugs complaining about problems with
automatic flags when upgrading, either this is a manifestation of the
same bug behind those those cases, or the underlying problems were
fixed somewhere in aptitude or (lib)apt in the intervening years.


Cheers.
