I went back and re-read the whole thread - you didn't say that before.
You specified that all external packages and ppas would have to be
manually removed/disabled.  I have not seen a need to remove external
packages and commented on your stated necessity of removing ppas.  I
thought you then agreed with that.

BTW, I always update while connected and avoid upgrades wherever
possible, so perhaps my concerns/issues just don't apply.
