I masked and stopped packagekit again and now in gnome-software, it
displays only the thinkpad amd firmware update, and it's no longer
alternating with the loading updates screen. 
This makes me think that firmware update is not related to the problem.

The other updates gnome-software displays when packagekit is running are
debian package updates. My last upgrade was an apt-get safe-upgrade,
because dist-upgrade wants to remove several packages, including gnome.
(I'm tracking unstable, this is typical transient dependency issues I
suppose. Also I have bluez on hold at an older version due to #1060224)

So maybe gnome-software gets confused in this kind of situation and keeps
retrying?
