Now, anything else in the list are packages from stable that got
upgraded to unstable as part of installing gnomad2 (things that
gnomad2 required at a higher version than things in stable).
One at a time, find the same package name in the regular section
and see what depends on it and see if you have anything. Then,
mark for removal the package in obsolete, mark the stable
package for install and mark it for automatic.

You could also press Enter to open the package description. At the
bottom you can see all available versions. If all you have in
sources.list is etch you shouldn't see more than 2 (the installed
unstable one and the etch one). Marking the etch version for install
should mark the other one for removal.
