Geekley I personally agree and would go a lot further and hide even most
dependencies (you don't really care which libraries you are installing,
just about choices made, e.g. if there's an a | b dependency it should
tell you that it picked a).
So if you want to think about it that terse mode would end up looking
something like:
Installing 5 specified packages, 10 upgrades and 30 new dependencies:
- Choosing banana to satisfy foo Depends: banana | apple
Removing 30 packages:
- package1
...
At the moment there is no option in between full output and no output,
though, and there is opposition to adding more output modes upstream.

Title:
When apt keeps back packages due to phased updates, it should list
them separately
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After phased updates have been introduced, it may happen that apt
upgrade shows packages as upgradable but ends up not upgrading them.
In this case the packages are indicated as being "kept back".
Unfortunately, the feedback provided about this to the user is not
very informative. The user sees the packages being kept back and
thinks something is going wrong on the system.
When packages are kept back because of phased updates, apt should say
so e.g., it should say that the upgrade is delayed.
Incidentally note that aptitude does not respect phased updates.
