I'll try later but as it's a clean Wheezy chropot, an update to sid is
likely to bring a lot of stuff which will make noise so I'll try do to
a clean approach (upgrading everything but xfce4, then dist-uprading).

But it makes sense. When explicitly saying “install xfce4” I'm telling
apt that I want the new xfce4 version no matter what. In the
dist-upgrade case, the score of removing a package is too important for
apt so it doesn't want to do that.
