Sorry, but it is a bad idea [tm] to deliver a tool thousands of people (users of debian-based distros) are used to work with on a daily basis and then tell them it behaves different here and should NOT AT ALL be used. I wonder what your options are... 1. Change the situation and make apt-get upgrade usable by providing sane stable packages in repository.maemo.org which are always usable on the device too. 2. Provide a different repository which only contains packages meant to be installed on the device. 3. Patch apt-get to refuse to work when the upgrade option is given. There are a number of pros and cons attached to these options and probably there are even more.
