Dear maintainer,

There is a fresh install (a few weeks ago) of stretch on my laptop. I just 
found out that the system loads all new packages from testing instantly when 
there is a network available. It was not easy to find out who is silently doing 
this, but finally:
With ps -axf:
97 ?    Ssl     0:07 /usr/lib/packagekit/packageditd
 1536 ? S       0:00    \_ /usr/lib/apt/methods/http

I often use my mobile phone as a hotspot, and for the laptop this is of course 
just another WLAN. Please give some information on how to stop this behaviour. 
There is nothing about this at the freedesk-top-website, neither in 
debian-wiki. On the website gnome-packagekit is a file in 
/etc/sysconfig/packagekit-background mentioned, but this file does not exist 
here. But even if it would exist, obviously nobody knows what exactly it could 
contain....

Apart from my hotspot-problem: I don't think automatic download of pakets 
should be the default in testing. But please provide at least some information 
and documentation about it.

Thank you for your work!

Patrick
