Yes. That is really bad news and I hate the idea to be forced to do
things just because a few developers are too lazy to care about
robustness. But I also acknowledge that Debian does not have the
personpower to fix upstream's deliberate breakage.

That's how I do it for new installs. However, this is vastly more
complex than the traditional setup, and it doesn't help for systems in
maintenance mode that, for example, cannot be changed because of
service level agreements and certifications.
Using Debian happens beyond single-user home desktop settings, you
know.
