Gary,

I like simple.  To be clear, is this the sequence you're proposing?

- Now that I've deleted backports from my sources.list, run `aptitude
  install emacs24` and so forth through the list.

- Then run `apt-get dist-upgrade`.

- Reboot into Jessie.

The alternative seems to be

- Run `apt-get dist-upgrade`.

- Run `aptitude install emacs24` and so forth through the list.

- Reboot into Jessie.

The first sounds correct, but this isn't fully a Jessie system yet, and
I'd be reinstalling packages that only came with dist-upgrade.

Thanks,

Bill
