Since I had this problem only on my workstation, I have found that the
cause was the network being down at the time Cron jobs were executed
-- including u-a.

Yesterday, I've added a short python script to /etc/cron.hourly that
sent a nice message every hour:
| /etc/cron.hourly/unattended-upgrade:
| {'DESCRIPTION': u'Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)', 'RELEASE':
u'unstable', 'CODENAME': 'sid', 'OS': 'GNU/Linux', 'ID': 'Debian'}

The python script is:
| #! /usr/bin/python
|
| import lsb_release
| print lsb_release.get_distro_information()

Today U-A was executed with network UP and the log starts with:
| Preconfiguring packages ...
| {'DESCRIPTION': u'Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)', 'RELEASE':
u'unstable', 'CODENAME': 'sid', 'OS': 'GNU/Linux', 'ID': 'Debian'}

I don't know if there is anything to fix for this case.

Cheers
