Sorry but im not really on your side here and it also doesnt really
solve the problem.

I added docker.io to the blacklist because i want to take care manually
about the upgrades, it should leave in any case this package alone.

Adding here dependencies (containerd) for the packages will never solve
the issue, also i have to maintain this list, because dependencies (at
least in theorie) could change over time.

Just to prevent docker.io from restart i have to add a huge set of
packages (out of the list here
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/docker.io) to prevent it from
updating.

On top i have to go through all of the first level packages, to check if
it has dependencies on the next level, because those could trigger a
restart of the first level package, which will chain on the package
which i try to prevent.

As far as i get it currently, if unattended-upgrades is not considering
dependencies of blacklisted packages, theres no way except building an
incredibly huge list of packages which you dont want to update, and
regulary recalculate this list, because of maybe changed dependencies..
