Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.98 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I just had roughly 20% of my monthly data volume (aka 100 MByte) used up within minutes because this package decided to do `apt update` while I am connected via Bluetooth and my mobile phone. Lucky enough I noticed this while the update as still going and before my data was completely used up. I am not sure why the download was so big, maybe it already started downloading the .deb files? I did not even know that this package was installed; it came in via dependencies and recommendations from Gnome. The end-result us unacceptable behavior: Using the Gnome desktop in the default configuration results in huge downloads being performed over metered connections without any way for the user to know, let alone abort the download.
