This does not appear to be a security update, but (looking at the version numbers involved) a release upgrade from jessie to stretch, though I could be wrong. Security updates, in general, do not add or remove dependencies without a real need. The security team is very sensitive to this. Also, unattended-upgrades does not simply do apt-get upgrade; I believe it does allow changing dependencies. I'm not sure why you say «apt-get install ...» asking for confirmation is unfortunate (or were you saying something else?). ...Marvin
