Looks right to me. Everytime I run an upgrade, after not having done so for
a few months (>4 or 5), I get a list that long.

dist-upgarde is easiest with Debian, but it's never completely easy and
clean, in my experience. You'll neeed to reinstall some stuff by hand, that
gets removed because of library conflicts, etc.

Perhaps try just an "upgrade" first, before a "dist-upgrade".
