Not necessarily at all.  Sometimes upgrading packages requires 
installing new packages, or removing existing packages; these
are things that apt-get upgrade is disinclined to do 
(apt-get dist-upgrade goes further than apt-get upgrade, but
from memory it still won't remove packages).

Try 
 # apt-get -s install flwm kbd kdelibs2g moonlight procps

to see what apt-get thinks is required to upgrade these
packages; if it looks OK to you, run it again without 
the "-s".
