This is a quick drive-by to wonder whether limiting the repositories
in /etc/apt/sources.list (before "apt upgrade") would additionally
help here, too?

Commenting the lines out instead of deleting is my chosen method of
operation just so I don't have to waste time tracking down how to put
what back in place *when* I change my mind. :)

Yes, I can't think of good examples, but I'm sure there are some to
show why everything should be updated instead of just security. :)
