Many people will use 'upgrade' instead of 'full-upgrade' or
'dist-upgrade' (e.g. [0][1]) despite the documentation explicitly
mentioning 'dist-upgrade' [3]. Proxmox projects use different
packaging guarantees than Debian (necessary for a rolling release
model) and using 'upgrade' can lead to the system being stuck on
outdated versions, or in rare cases, even break the system [2].
The match is kept simple, to not accidentally catch things like
> -o 'foo=bar upgrade baz'
and trip up advanced users.
It does not catch invocations with '-y' either, making it less likely
to break automated user scripts. Although they should not use
'upgrade' either, it still would be bad to break them. If the risk is
still considered too high, this change should wait until a major or
at least point release.
To avoid false positives, it would be necessary to properly parse
options, which is likely not worth the effort.
A downside is that the hook is only invoked after the user confirms
the upgrade and fetching the packages, but there doesn't seem to be an
early enough hook entry that provides access to the command line.
Since this is just an additional safety warning to guide new users, it
should still be good enough.
It is intended that meta-packages for Proxmox projects recommend this
package.
The same postinst/postrm logic for the hook like in proxmox-ve and
apt-listchanges is used to not have disable/re-enable the hook upon
removal/re-install of the package.

Changes in v2:
* Mention that actual breakage is rare, being stuck on outdated
versions is much more common.
* Do not ask for confirmation, only log the warning.
* Split into own package, so it can be re-used by different products.
