Just apt-get upgrade, assuming you don't have the two packages in /etc/apt/preferences.

to edit the /etc/apt/preferences file type in Xterm

Code:

vi /etc/apt/preferences

then hit i and remove the next lines

Code:

Package: hildon-status-menu
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001

press ESC and type :wq to save changes

this way just hildon-desktop remains pinned

EDIT: if you just have hildon-desktop and hildon-status-menu pinned, you can do

Code:

root

rm /etc/apt/preferences

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

this is basicaly deleting and creating the preferences again with only hildon-desktop pinned

now you can update

Code:

root
apt-get upgrade

and only hildon-status-menu should be updated (actually replaced with stock one)

I seriously think a facebook petition needs starting, something along the lines of..

Be kind to your N900 and save it from unnecessary processes.

Code:

root

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" > /etc/apt/preferences

apt-get upgrade

The single ">" means create a new file for the output, which will have the same effect as deleting the old one without having to explicitly delete it, thus saving you from running the "rm" command.

Now all we need is a portrait keyboard in conversations and the world will be perfect.

Hmm.. now I am unable to overclock my device using the QCPUFreq. Maybe this is just coincidence but I also noticed my transitions.ini was reverted back to original.

AFAIK transitions.ini is part of hildon-desktop, which is replaced with this package. Not sure why QCPUFreq wouldn't work though...
