(lfs = Linux From Scratch?)
The only source of routing table instability is the reconnection that
happens when the old daemon is stopped and the new is started.
So did you check if you are really able to upgrade the BGP server daemon
from OpenBGPd or whichever LFS might use *without* having to reconnect?
BGP uses TCP connections and so far I have never seen a daemon that really
tries to handover a running TCP connection to another daemon or uses a
mini-proxy to keep the real binary behind that (which in both cases would
be far beyond Debian packaging but major work for the authors of Quagga).
I would be interested in a working example on how somebody was able to
do it better to submit it as feature request on

(you might want to start a discussion there yourself)

P.S.: I only focused on the above issue. That servers are generally shutdown
immediately
when they are upgraded and thus upgrades of critical packages should only
happen
during maintenance windows, is simply the way Debian works. If you don't
like this,
I'm sorry that I have to recommend you to another distro then.
