Also, my recent experience was that if I toggled the updated package
that was causing the trouble to 'Keep', even though _it_ didn't show up
in the download list, the (large) dependencies offering _did_ still turn
up.

If you haven't updated recently, and you have mediainfo-gui 0.7.91-1 or
earlier installed, you can reproduce.  You should be offered
mediainfo-gui 0.7.93-1.  Even if you switch it (and libmediainfo
and mediainfo to be sure) to Keep and proceed, you will be hit with a
large list of dependencies.
