autoremove list after focal fossa upgrade

After LQ help with DNS issue, I'm doing my first apt upgrade on focal fossa. I'm seeing quite a large number of autoremove packages (see below). Some seem reasonable (e.g. related to kernel change), but others concern me. For example, why would deborphan no longer be required? Also seeing some python and misc libraries that seem important? A little nervous about removing such a large list of packages.

Code:The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
