disable UCS 4 package sources to avoid mixing stretch and buster packages during the upgrade

With KDE installed the upgrade to ucs5 fails:
'''
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libkf5tnef5 : Breaks: ktnef (< 4:17.08) but 4:16.04.3-4~deb9u1 is to be installed
'''

Disabling the old stretch package sources early in the upgrade process solves this dependency problem. debian is recommending not mixing sources from major releases any way.

RFC: There is no mechanism to restore the file if the upgrade failed.
RFC: Don't we need this as well in further upgrades. It should be the case for any debian upgrade.

OK: changelog entry
OK: with the patch I could upgrade with kde-standard
