Public bug reported: The /lib/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service unit leaves a process, /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown --wait-for-signal, running from system start until shutdown. This increases the minimum memory footprint of every host, VM, or container where unattended-upgrades is installed. The motivation for having this systemd unit is clear in terms of the practicalities of implementing what this unit needs to do, but we should try to find some way to achieve this which does not rely on increasing the low water mark of system memory.
