I don't understand why you have so many dependencies on
libgnutls-deb0-28 if you're running stretch. Doodling while I
downloaded the humongous video of today's Congress, I typed:

$ zgrep '\(libgnutls-deb0-28\)\|\(Package:\)' /home/debian/jessie/Packages.gz | \
 grep -B1 Depends | grep Package | sort > /tmp/oldpacks

which yielded 223 lines. I then edited oldpacks to build the single line:

$ grep '\(Package: abiword$\)\|\(Package: [ … ] Package: xombrero$\)' \
 /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stretch_main_binary-amd64_Packages > \
 /tmp/keptpacks

and that yielded 198 lines, which suggests that stretch contains
up-to-date versions of most of the packages that apt wanted to remove.
(Obviously I'm not taking account of dependencies on dependencies…)
Here's the list of 25 jessie packages not in stretch:

$ lines-in-a-not-b.py /tmp/oldpacks /tmp/keptpacks
Package: dsyslog
Package: dwb
Package: guile-gnutls
Package: gurlchecker
Package: ircd-ratbox
Package: jd
Package: libaqbanking34-plugins
Package: libavformat56
Package: libaws3.2.0
Package: libccrtp2
Package: libepc-1.0-3
Package: libepc-ui-1.0-3
Package: libgloox12
Package: libgnutls28-dbg
Package: libimobiledevice4
Package: libmailutils4
Package: libmicrohttpd10
Package: libopenconnect3
Package: libucommon6
Package: libvncclient0
Package: libvncserver0
Package: libwireshark5
Package: licq-plugin-jabber
Package: mutt-patched
Package: sflphone-daemon
$ 

Many of those will probably have package names that include the
version number, like libwireshark5→libwireshark8.
(If you get different results, it could be because my jessie
installations/lists are all i386 whereas for stretch they're amd64.)

Cheers,
David.
