There are three options:
(1, no distro-sync) — upgrade only packages which can be upgraded
  without conflicts. Leaves a partially upgraded system in some cases.
(2, distro-sync) — upgrade packages which can be upgraded, remove
  conflicting ones. Lose some packages during upgrade.
(3, force) — upgrade all packages ignoring conflicts. Leaves the
  system with some programs broken.

You seem to dislike all the options, but I don't see anything else
possible. Do you have some better proposal?

(Note that the user is always asked for confirmation before proceeding,
so she can always stop to remove/update packages by hand in all three
cases.)
