I believe most of your concern is unjustified, as packages tend to get
reorganized over time or replaced by appropriate alternatives (renamed,
etc.). There may be some which no longer exist, but I don't {know
if | believe} they would be excised for that reason. You might check the
contents of some of the packages being removed against the unstable
distribution to see whether they exist in an alternate .deb (which you
should then find is in the new list to be downloaded). This can be
done at Debian's web site.
One thought is whether you know of other packages dependent on those
listed. If so, what are their new (Sid) dependencies, and are those
met in your upgrade?
Caveat: "I ain't a guru," so there certainly could be better answers.
Cheers,
