I think the main problem is that this method is used on unstable where
it is not reasonable to do so, while (at least to me) it seems very
useful to provide to out stable users.
Don't shoot the messenger if our unstable is so bad right now that even
APT messes up. So let's just disable (or not make the default) the
automatic updates on testing/unstable for now.
