Just to throw some numbers into the discussion, a comparison between
breezy main and unstable gives us:

Local Packages:   841	- basically X.org and friends
Local Newer:      119	- basically GNOME and KDE

Up To Date:       555 
Packaging Only:   306	- same upstream, different debian revision
Minor Fixes:      281	- upstream version didn't change much

OTHER              54


Amusingly out of the OTHER, almost half of them are partman -- which is
almost certainly a feature goal being an installer component.
