Two things. 1. You can choose whether you want security updates at
install time. (There may be a default value unless you use expert
mode.) You can comment the security line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list
any time you like.
2. You can ^C out of the upgrade process any time you like. When you
decide to repeat it, apt will automatically carry on downloading from
where it was with no waste of time/bandwidth.

David.
