Bug Description

We run AIDE on systems that use unattended-upgrade to install security patches. When the upgrades run, we often get large email reports from AIDE. We have FILTERUPDATES=yes in /etc/defaults/aide but the filtering seems to not be very effective a lot of the time, especially when there are kernel updates. Excerpt of one of the reports is included below.

Expected behavior is that the report only shows changes that weren't made as a result of package updates, and that no email is sent if all the changes were from package updates.

Summary:
  Total number of entries: 182042
  Added entries: 27157 (filtered: 0)
  Removed entries: 0 (filtered: 0)
  Changed entries: 32 (filtered: 947)

The following package changes were detected and were filtered from this mail:
libtiff5:amd64 (upgrade)
linux-libc-dev:amd64 (upgrade)
linux-aws:amd64 (upgrade)
linux-image-aws:amd64 (upgrade)
linux-headers-aws:amd64 (upgrade)
