I've seen lots of Ubuntu users upgrade to hoary without really
understanding what it is and then using Synaptic with the "smart upgrade"
(ie dist-upgrade) option checked to always be the default.
There was one particularly amusing point in hoary development where this
actually removed apt because of a broken dependency, that confused the
shit out of a load of people because synaptic disappeared too as a result
;)

Just a theory :)
