Yes, please fix.

>From a security standpoint, we can't tell the "good" held backs (Phased
Updates) from the "bad" held backs (problem with package). So we assume
its a package problem, go in with a hammer, and use Aptitude's safe-
upgrade to force the updates. Now we've subverted/undermined the Phased
Updates when there was no problem.
