The pattern is not used, I already scheduled a commit to drop the question even in Debian: https://github.com/rbalint/unattended-upgrades/commit/00eed46d48b316ff3dca153f3f676586ef5f4173

This is not a great experience, it doesn't match anything other than internal code patterns. For example, the default offered does NOT look like a sensible Ubuntu default for Ubuntu users: "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian- Security";___ Is that correct, or a mistake? What I would expect is simply this: Install security updates (Y/N) Install performance and reliability updates (Y/N) Install updates from unofficial archives (Y/N) The latter would map to all PPAs etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1577215/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
