The current case is that my machine is a regular old 32-bit Athlon. I
don't see the need to update the 200-some-odd packages that were updated
because: "Rebuild for changes in the amd64 toolchain."
Presumably those changes are not going to affect the i{3,4,5,6}86
packages, yes? Why bother to download and update 200 packages when the
result is a no-op (in fact, I would argue that i{3,4,5,6}86 packages
should not have even been rebuilt -- but that is probably a somewhat
complicated problem with generic build systems)? I will install any of
those packages when something meaningful is done to them.
That said, I agree, and generally do install all updates.

Why dist-upgrade? I don't see anything in the update list in
update-manager reflecting gksu. In fact at the moment the only in I
have outstanding in update-manager are those almost-200 packages that
were rebuilt due to the amd64 toolchain changes.
