As ckeditor shows as "Installed as a dependency", how might I go about
upgrading it properly ?

You cannot upgrade it in 8.4.1 ( http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1570 ) but
1.10 is the latest version ATM anyway. The problem you have, most probably,
is that it wasn't upgraded correctly to this 1.10 version, and since you're
also missing stuff from the administration it looks like the problem is
more general: the upgrade to XWiki 8.4.1 was not done correctly (at least
for the UI part). Did you use the Distribution Wizard to upgrade the wiki
pages? You probably had merge conflicts which were not resolved correctly
(either by Extension Manager or by the person that did the upgrade).

. So your administration UI (i.e. wiki pages) has not been upgraded
property. You're missing at least the "Default WYSIWYG Editor" drop down
and the "Syntaxes" configuration section (on the left).

Administration+Application#HEditModeSettings
Hi All,
On an infrequently maintained xwiki instance (.deb on Ubuntu), which
was running 8.4.1, the default editor is WYSIWYG
In Administration | Edit Mode Settings | DEFAULT
EDITOR, the dropdown
box contains Wysiwyg and Text, and does NOT contain CKEditor
That's normal. Below "Default Editor" you should have "Default
WYSIWYG
Editor" as in
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ . That is the property that should list CKEditor
as a possible value. But
CKEditor should be the default WYSIWYG editor in XWiki 8.4.1 even if you
leave this property unset.
The edit mode looks like
If a page
in the wiki is selected, the edit icon has the options in
the dropdown for WYSIWYG, CKEditor, Wiki & Inline form, then below it,
Objects and Class.
XWiki 8.4.1 is using CKEditor 1.9 which doesn't extend the edit menu, see
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/CKEDITOR-96 .

Did you upgrade to 8.4.1 from a previous version?
It may be the case that
CKEditor was not upgraded properly. Or maybe you didn't clear the browser
cache.
Yes it was updated, but I couldn't tell you what the previous version
was, I think it started out as a 2.x.x release
I tried
an update to 8.4.4, and there is no change in Administration |
Edit Mode Settings | DEFAULT EDITOR, but when a page is edited, it now
shows in the place where I would expect to see the edit window the
below
Content
#ckeditor($parameters)
It seems CKEditor was still not upgraded properly. 
Cheers
