Related to this thing another question: Is there already a debian way, to
force those new downloaded packages to install, when the system is being
shutdown by the user? (Similar like windows does).

Yuck! That's one of the things I hate about windows. (don't run it myself,
but wife does). If we're going away for a while and want to take our laptops
with us, I can shut down Debian in a few seconds, but sometimes her Windows
will take up to an hour with updates, making us late for our
bus/train/plane/spaceship.

Well, there's no way I'll ever use gnome again, so that doesn't matter to me.

I usually boot into single user mode, run backups then updates then continuing booting to desktop (xfce). A fairly safe way of doing things.
