How can I simply disable phased packages? (I was hit numerous times by
outdated packages, never had problem with update causing problems so for
me this just makes things worse anyway)

I want to say I agree with avih and had the same idea but I had no
chance to update the bug yet. Currently sorting out actual upgrade
failures that might be regressions from the new phasing though.
It remains to be seen if we can do this safely. We need to add a new
flag "PhasedKeep" or something

An alternative, proposed by user avih on IRC, is to not report any of
these packages to the user at all:

noise to my regular dist-upgrade, and it interferes with me reviewing what's
about to get updated

How about:
When something is scored down because it is not phased, make a note.
When the scoring is all done, take the list of held back packages, and
identify all those that have a note against them. Then print (up to) two
lists:

apt-cache policy knows when packages are phased; when apt needs to
report that packages are held back, apt could look up each one to report
phased status.
Not fixing this because the strings need translating is an argument for
declaring APT a finished project and moving on to the Next Big Thing.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Yeah, I was confused by this at first too. Here's a hint, try "apt-mark

If nothing is printed (as above), then the "issue" PRESUMABLY isn't
local to your system; ergo, the cause is PROBABLY at the server, such as
a phased update. Relax. It will probably
We can't really store reasons for why something is kept back. And if we
managed to do that, we'd end up with an untranslated line in the middle
of the output for every non-English locale until it's translated and apt
updated (it does not use language packs).

I have seen many people on IRC *very* upset after wasting a lot of time
trying to install updates that apt will not let them install. Fixing
this is critical to our reputation.
Thanks
