Excuse me, it seems this only happens when you do "aptitude -f install
aptitude" (as the release notes suggest) (actually, it'll happen when
you install anything that depends on libc6). "aptitude -f
dist-upgrade" alone, using sarge's aptitude, tries to remove all
kernels.
Gah. Sorry, that was supposed to be:
"aptitude -f dist-upgrade" alone, using sarge's aptitude, DOESN'T
try to remove all kernels.
So, my original bug report was wrong. A straight aptitude
dist-upgrade doesn't remove kernels. However, trying to update
aptitude itself does. So the release notes should probably either
drop the part about recommending updating aptitude itself first, or it
should mention the initrd-tools/aptitude/dist-upgrade dance I said in
my last email.
