You'll find that they need to be removed because the dependency hierarchy has 
changed.  They should be reinstalled as part of the upgrade.  Also some of 
the package names may change meaning the old packages need to be removed and 
replace and not just "upgraded", even though effectively it's the same thing 
from the end-user's perspective.

If you're worried, just make a list of the packages you need to (adept, amarok 
etc) and do the upgrade.  See if they reappear on the other side.  If not, 
install manually "apt-get install <package>" etc.

I went through a similar "WTF" episode when I went from Hoary->Breezy.  It was 
all good once apt/dpkg had finished working out the dependencies :)  Have 
faith grasshopper! :P

Cheers,

James
