Doing the Minion upgrade seems to be a simplest state in your SLS file at first. But the operating systems such as DEBIAN GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and their derivatives start the service after the PACKAGE installation by default. To prevent this, we need to create policy layer which will prevent the Minion service to restart RIGHT after the upgrade:

{%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
Disable starting services:
file.managed:
- NAME: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
- user: root
- group: root
- MODE: 0755
- contents:
- '#!/bin/sh'
- exit 101
# do not touch if already exists
- replace: False
- prereq:
- pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion
{%- endif %}
Upgrade Salt Minion:
pkg.installed:
- name: salt-minion
- version: 2016.11.3{% if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}+ds-1{% endif %}
- order: last
Enable Salt Minion:
service.enabled:
- name: salt-minion
- require:
- pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion
{%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
Enable starting services:
file.absent:
- name: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
- onchanges:
- pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion
{%- endif %}
