Dear Maintainer,

Today, packagekit automatically upgraded my system during boot/startup.

It caused an upgrade of firefox to 108 version, version affected by bugs.

I guess as it works in a non-interactive mode, it does not use apt-listbugs.

As I am using a Debian sid Gnome 43 system, I though I can prevent this using 
gnome-software options but the one to upgrade automatically was already set to 
off.

I tried to find some doc without success to understand how to prevent this.

To avoid such action in future, I masked the packagekit.service.

In my humble opinion, no auto upgrade should happen in a sid/unstable system.

And I open this bugreport to notify this hoping you can explain what triggerred 
such upgrades and fix the problem in disabling auto-upgrades.

Regards,

Jean-Marc
