I just found out I needed to upgrade 69 packages after changing the pin
priority for dapper-security to 999, so it seems the packages wasn't
being upgraded, even though their version numbers were higher than the
installed version.

Hmmm... looking at the apt_preferences(5), it should have upgraded
without the pin change.  Need to do some more research into this.
