Public bug reported:
Confirmed in 16.04 LTS and Yakkety Daily.
How to reproduce:
User Ubuntu Server ISO and at the very last question of the installer, answer
"no automatic updates."
Then, after the reboot, check /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
and you will find:
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};
Since by default the first one is enabled, it will install automatic
updates despite having selected "no" during installer.
