Landing the apt piece of this without the unattended-upgrades piece has
regressed the around-the-clock distribution of unattended-upgrades
downloads (which is enabled by default for security updates in 16.04).

The plan is to follow up with unattended-upgrades SRU today to get this
all landed before 16.04.3 so that the point release images are in a
coherent state.

apt must also declare a versioned Breaks: against versions of
unattended-upgrades that don't implement --download-only.  Otherwise,
the infrastructure consequences of a future apt update published to the
security pocket without a matching unattended-upgrades update would be
severe.
