I don't think it is false information. These are probably packages which
have new versions available but which cannot be upgraded because of
missing or broken dependencies. I'm preparing an updated update-manager
today, if you could get it from unstable and test what it does to these
packages I'd be grateful. I'll post them here so you can reach them
before they get to unstable (which should have happened tomorrow at this
same time =P).

See you,
