Yes, I had the same issue. apt-get dist-upgrade did not pull these
packages in. I only got aware that the packages are actually in the repo
after I manually installed the kernel debs from
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux/2.6.31-15.49 but
forgot one of the kernel header files. apt-get dist-upgrade suggested
that I execute "apt-get -f install". And voilà, when I did this, apt-get
pulled the missing deb from the -proposed repo. To make sure everything
fit together I removed the manually installed kernel and installed the
packages with apt-get using their full names, which worked.
