On my usual machines I have installed only such packages that I need - without

tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.04.2 - here is used metapackage trinity-livecd.
On my test machine with Debian Squeeze is therefore the difference
between 'apt-get install tde-trinity' and 'aptitude dist-upgrade'
abysmal:
apt-get install tde-trinity:
72 upgraded, 456 newly installed, 1 to remove and 31 not upgraded.
Need to get 339 MB of archives.
After this operation, 687 MB of additional disk space will be used.
aptitude dist-upgrade:
92 packages upgraded, 64 newly installed, 15 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 137 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.8 MB will be used.

As I've mentioned many times before, this
procedure on all my test
machines ran smoothly - without any hitch - and it's "really just
upgrade".
Agreed that would be good, but what in your configuration
prevents autoremove from removing needed packages?
Did you originally perform a standard TDE install or did
you perform some kind of expert install that told aptitude
more about which packages you want to keep?
