0.3.4 does basically the same thing - except that it gives a reason. ;-)
So this is a lot better; in fact the behaviour makes more sense than
that of apt-get now: argouml is the only reason why libi18n-java is
actually installed; so if it would upgrade libi18n-java by uninstalling
argouml, it would become unused and thus uninstalled, too... ;-)

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
The following packages have been kept back:

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

The last [Y/n/?] question doesn't make sense, though:
basically it's a "I'm going to do nothing [Y/n/?]"
Also I would suggest the wording "would be BROKEN" at the beginning.
Also a more human-readable reasoning would be nice, but I guess you
can't do that...
After all "explaining proofs" is still a big issue in automated
reasoning.
best regards,
