Bug Description
Confirmed in 16.04 LTS and Yakkety Daily.
How to reproduce:
User Ubuntu Server ISO and at the very last question of the installer, answer "no automatic updates."
Then, after the reboot, check /etc/apt/
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
Unattended-
// "${distro_
// "${distro_
// "${distro_
};
Since by default the first one is enabled, it will install automatic updates despite having selected "no" during installer.
