- Do NOT use full-/dist-upgrade. People should generally not use it, but that's especially true now
- Waiting is a virtue. Forcing things (which is what full-upgrade does) is generally a bad idea. Even more now. All the issues will be fixed/resolved over time.
- Do NOT use the '-y' parameter to apt and READ all that APT is telling you it's about to do. Responding 'N(o)' has always been a valid response and even more now.
It turns out that with "apt" you actually do need to use dist-upgrade to remove packages so they can be replaced with their time64/t64 successor.

That's apparently one of the differences with aptitude, which is what I always use, which just removes packages that are no longer needed or are replaced by another package.
