I would continue to upgrade. After the upgrade and after booting into 
the new kernel (if it was upgraded), I would then revisit the above 
packages using:
$> sudo apt-get update
$> sudo apt-get upgrade

And whatever packages are kept back, I would then manually try to 
install them using:
$> sudo apt-get -s install <package names here which to install>

and see what new is being installed. If nothing big is being removed, I 
would then actually install the packages (by remove the "-s" switch from 
the last command).
