Good question.  The current status of these packages are:
pn  ubuntu-base         <none>          (no description available)
pn  kubuntu-desktop     <none>          (no description available)
ii  linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8  2.6.10-34.7  Linux kernel headers \
                                                  2.6.10 on AMD K8
ii  linux-headers-2.6.12-9-amd64-k8  2.6.12-9.23  Linux kernel headers \
                                                  2.6.12 on AMD K8
ii  linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8    2.6.10-34.7  Linux kernel image for \
                                                  version 2.6.10 on AMD K8.
ii  linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-k8    2.6.12-9.23  Linux kernel image for \
                                                  version 2.6.12 on AMD K8.

There was nothing found for "ubuntu-desktop" and the 2.6.12-9.23 kernel I 
installed manually.  I don't think apt keeps a log of it's actions any 
where but I do remember that kdevelop3-data, kdevelop3_4 and knemo packages 
all required a little manual intervention (--force-overwrite) as they were 
trying to install files that would trample files from other packages.  
Other than that, the Hoary->Breezy upgrade "appeared" relatively 
painless :-/

I have no idea of the status of ubuntu-base or kubuntu-desktop prior to the 
upgrade, but I DO know the kernel was the 2.6.10-34.7 version.  I remember, 
because it surprised me that Breezy ended up on the same kernel as Hoary.

My laptop today went through this same Hoary->Breezy process without a 
hitch.  No manual intervention and the kernel went straight up the 2.6.12 
(although it's a 686 flavoured kernel).
