Bug Description

We run unattended-upgrades happily with 'Unattended-Upgrade::Mail' active and 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies'

Sometimes a UU run would not install nor hold anything, but only autoremove packages that have become obsolete, typically old kernels. In such cases, UU's mail notification reads:

"""
 Unattended upgrade returned: True

 Warning: A reboot is required to complete this upgrade.

 Packages that were upgraded:

 Package installation log:
 [...]
"""

Which is quite irritating.

It would be very helpful if it also contained a line "Packages that were (auto-)removed:"
