4 January 2020: migrate from debian/stretch to beowulf

Beowulf was the stable version at the time. Afterwards, I upgraded
it regularly and smoothly.
I'm assuming you didn't try to migrate from Stretch to Beowulf directly
before doing the ascii migration.
Hm.. yes, you must be right.
And I keep detailed logs of what I do.
On a server, I used to run release dist-upgrades under script. I gave up after
realizing I never dug into those files. The last time I just kept the tripwire
log. (Albeit tripwire leaves something to be desired w.r.t., say, subversion.)
None on those on a client, which is this case.
How did you remove those packages?
No idea. Didn't remove them intentionally. Not even sure /when/
they were removed.
During your migration to Beowulf and dist-upgrade to Chimaera, and if
you followed instructions, autoremove could have removed them as part
of the cleanup.
[snip]
Upgrade by design won't install major upgrades to apps, system
files, etc. which can occur with Testing.
However, apt should still keep back unupgraded packages, so that if
you issue a dist-upgrade afterwards, it can find them and upgrade
them, correct?
It should, but if you used autoremove, those "held back" packages will
be removed and forgotten.
Ugh, the man page says:
Packages which you have installed explicitly via install are also
never proposed for automatic removal.
Inkscape must have been installed explicitly.
