I gather this did not get through because it was sent from a different email address that the one I registered with. Will remember that in future. :-)

Since Posting This Bug
libxine1 has ceased to be checked on Update Manager. (I have never been able to check or uncheck it)
The message to Run a Partial Upgrade no longer appears.
The version numbers listed above have not changed.
libxine1 still appears under Backports saying:
   libxine1
   the xine video/media player library, meta-package
   From version 1.7.1-1ubuntu1 to 1.1.10-1~gutsy1 (Size: 1 KB)
I do not know if this is what it was saying before but suspect it wasn't, as it was removing the package before.

dpkg -s gives:
~$ sudo dpkg -s libxine1
