That surely is the easiest (and best IMHO) solution for users that run
into this problem, but I rather meant "What is the easiest and best way
to prevent things like this in the future".

I've just found #568160, which proposes the inclusion of -trunk into the
list of already special cased package name substrings in
debian/update_grub. I still don't get why the "trunk" part in the
package name was not ~trunk or -0, which would convey the meaning of
"Has not reached final -1 ABI".
