Note that this is only true, _if_ the upgrade is aborted before 
anything else was done by APT. If APT started installing packages, 
and there are ordering issues, users can very well end up in a 
situation that is very hard to recover from. 

One example that was found is #1108193 and fixed.
Another is #1109119, with currently no resolution in sight.
As such aborting upgrades seems very risky this time.
