Stopping auto-install is not that difficult, but stopping > auto-update is a problem. I think you've assumed some things incorrectly. I did a basic terminal only install with only basic system utilties, the last option on the list. No Desktop of any kind. No xserver. Packagekit is not installed. Discover was as a dependency, but I didn't install it explicitly. No auto-install or auto-update either. I converted to sysvinit, but left systemd stuff as dependencies. Later will install xorg and openbox, etc. for my GUI. This is the same way I installed Wheezy 5 years ago. And it works (and always has) fine. FWIW, a few months ago, I installed Stretch RC2 the same way to test it and everything worked including apt-get update, upgrade, etc. So, something is wrong. And I won't install it for real until I discover what. B
