This is an example of the relatively unusual situation where Debian pays off 
for the non-geek.  Or in my case it pays off for the Bewbie (a person with 
years of Linux experience with nothing to show for it but a good time).

Last week Ken Bloom responded with a list of suggestions in response to my 
complaint that k3b was not available for testing.  His primary suggestion for 
dealing with the problem translates as:  "Do Nothing."

In other words, don't worry about Debian problems because apt will take care 
of them in time.

My boot problem is another example.  Today apt brought me "e2fsprogs".  So 
today my boot problem ended.  It looks like I can boot Debian without 
irritation, and keep my computer set to local time.
