In fact in my case, I cannot upgrade. I presume I deleted the old mp-fremantle-generic-pr package, dpkg -l | grep mp-fremantle-generic-pr reveals nothing. When trying to install it, I get a message about broken depends. 

root at Nokia-N900-41-10:~ apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mp-fremantle-generic-pr: Depends: cmt-firmware-rx51 (= 8.2.2009.34.3-2+0m5) but 8.2.2009.34.2-2+0m5 is to be installed
                           Depends: hildon-initscripts (= 1.26-1+0m5) but 1.26-1+dp1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
