Bug#1074796: gnome-shell: Silently applies pending package updates on shutdown

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 43.9-0+deb12u2
Severity: serious
[This bug is probably misfiled, I have no idea which GNOME component is
responsible for the actual behaviour so this is a guess based on the
fact that I interact with the UI to trigger it.]
When I select "Power off" from the power menu at the top right of the
screen if there any pending package updates then instead of shutting
down GNOME will reboot into a single user mode, apply the pending
package updates and then shut down. I have never noticed any visible
indication that this will happen rather than an immediate shutdown.
On my system when there is a kernel package update this renders the
system unbootable, my /boot partition does not have enough space to
store two copies of the initramfs so installation of the new kernel
package is left half finished with no modules available. This in turn
causes boot failures since the display driver is the nVidia module and
the nouveau driver which gets loaded instead simply does not work on
this hardware.
I can imagine this may also be an issue in cases where the user needs to
power the system off urgently, for example due to running out of
battery, and since I use an encrypted rootfs I am also routinely
suprised to find that the system I thought I had turned off has been
sitting at the decrypt filesystem prompt for an extended period.
I would expect some indication that upgrades are to happen, and for
there to be some way to skip the update and just do a normal shutdown
instead. Windows has a model where when updates are pending some
additional shutdown and reboot options are provided called "Update and
X".
