The libnet-upnp-perl problem is gone, but I did have another problem.  I
used apt-get to do the upgrade, and it correctly realized that it should
remove libmyth-0.21 and replace it with libmyth-0.21-0, but for some
reason it didn't do the removal before unpacking the replacement, so I
got:

Unpacking libmyth-0.21-0 (from .../libmyth-0.21-0_0.21.0+fixes18478_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libmyth-0.21-0_0.21.0+fixes18478_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmyth-0.21.so.0.21.0', which is also in package libmyth-0.21
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

It went on to partially install other myth-related packages, so things
got into a bit of a mess.  I managed to clear it up by doing

  dpkg --force-depends -r libmyth-0.21
  apt-get -f install

and then repeating the original apt-get command to bring in the
remaining packages.

Besides that, it seems to work!

Thanks again!
