Yes, aptitude: before completing the upgrade (at the apt-listchanges
step), I wanted to have a look at the package description. But this
is not local to aptitude: aptitude just tells dpkg that the package
needs to be purged. I think that this is equivalent to what
"dpkg --set-selections" does.

No, on another machine on which I haven't started the upgrade, the
completion is fine.
