Description
Now, before you upgrade to the next release, you need the package ubuntu-desktop installed, so you get everything you need in the next release. The problem is, that ubuntu-desktop also contains a lot of optional programs.

It would be good, to have another empty package update-necessities, that depends on everything, that has to be there after the update in order to have a smoothly running system, but that does not depend on anything else.
The ubuntu-desktop package would remain as the one that contains the complete standard installation.
