Hoary Synaptic-Upgrade from Warty

[Jon Dixon]

Hi Matt

Some of the metapackages in your original warty install may have been
deinstalled, and when new things were added by any changes to said
metapackage in hoary you'd miss them AFAIK.

Glad your hoary experience is going good after the reinstall.
