I had seen this post, but I'm afraid of some hidden backdoor. I'm planning to install custom language (replace EN-GB), that's why I want 100% sure method to stop updates.

TL;DR: As @knc1 said, terrible idea.
If they hardcoded it, it's really out of my league. I was seriously hoping for something like:
Code:
# mv /some_magic_directory/AMAZON.KEY /some_magic_directory/BYE_BYE_AMAZON.TRASH
For now I'm gonna stick to "update.bin.tmp.partial".

Thank you knc1 and NiLuJe for your advices. Also Thank you Branch Delay and everyone involved with this awesome JB.
