I think you've assumed some things incorrectly. I did a basic terminal
only install with only basic system utilties, the last option on the
list. No Desktop of any kind. No xserver. Packagekit is not
installed. Discover was as a dependency, but I didn't install it
explicitly. No auto-install or auto-update either. I converted to
sysvinit, but left systemd stuff as dependencies. Later will install
xorg and openbox, etc. for my GUI. This is the same way I installed
Wheezy 5 years ago. And it works (and always has) fine.
FWIW, a few months ago, I installed Stretch RC2 the same way to test it
and everything worked including apt-get update, upgrade, etc.
So, something is wrong. And I won't install it for real until I
discover what.
