Hundreds of "New Packages"?

[ Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" ]

Every day or so I run 'aptitude', and update the package lists with 'u'.

I did this yesterday and found many hundred "new packages" listed!
Have others seen this?  Were a whole bunch of new packages added to
your system(s)?

If I hadn't run 'aptitude' for weeks, I *might* have expected this.
But like I said, it may have been one or maybe two days since I last 
used 'u'.

Could there really be that much new stuff?  Maybe database corruption?

Thanks for sharing *your* experiences,
