Geez Estel, don't you get how repositories work yet? Sounds like you've installed the entire cssu repository to get the bits you want ! How's buggy modest and buggy xterm working for ya? So far I've only been interested in cameraui2 , so I've only installed that. I actually withdraw my question as I don't believe cssu can prevent a heavy user's 3 day reboot. Feel free to correct me by pointing to which bits actually achieve that.
