It seems apt believes they're requested to be installed (and no other
requested actions):

=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -s dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  shellutils textutils
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst shellutils (5.2.1-2 Debian:testing)
Conf shellutils (5.2.1-2 Debian:testing)
Inst textutils (5.2.1-2 Debian:testing)
Conf textutils (5.2.1-2 Debian:testing)
=====

but dpkg doesn't agree:

=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l {shell,text}utils | tail -n 2
pn  shellutils     <none>         (no description available)
pn  textutils      <none>         (no description available)
=====

aptitude also shows that there are no upgradable packages that depend
on those two packages:

=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude search ~U~Dshellutils
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude search ~U~Dtextutils
=====
