Now that unattended-upgrades defaults to installing security updates in
Xenial, I think this needs more attention. In mitigation, one can
disable unattended-upgrades without removing the package (dpkg-
reconfigure may work, but certainly hitting the files in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d will) but I understand that one can get more
confidence by just purging a package that provides unwanted
functionality.
Unless there's a good reason that unattended-upgrades must be a
dependency. Can it be a Recommends instead, or perhaps be seeded as a
Recommends directly?
