'Consistency' means in this case that all kernel related files (modules, 
headers, ...) that are visible after the boot process finished (and 
percistency is activated) exactly match the kernel version used for booting up 
the system.

afterwards.

The meaning of the hook is not to be able to upgrade those packages but to 
prevent upgrades of these packages because they will almost certainly fail/be 
impossible.

So far I have not seen an alternative proposal that correctly works in all 
situations. Please restate what the 'correct fix' would be.
