Throw
Dselect::Options "-u";
in /etc/apt/apt.conf. From the man page:
Options
The contents of this variable is passed to apt-
get(8) as command line options when it is run for
the install phase.
Or maybe you could use
Apt::Get::Show-Upgraded "true";
And then you can turn it off using a command line option like -u- or maybe
--no-u or possibly --disable-show-upgraded.
Yes, there are far too many settable settings in APT ..
