On Impish and later, removing unattended-upgrades also removes ubuntu-server-minimal due to ubuntu-server-minimal depending on unattended-upgrades
$ sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ubuntu-server-minimal unattended-upgrades
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
This behaviour has changed since ubuntu-meta 1.471 [1] when the ubuntu-server-minimal metapackage was introduced, declaring unattended-upgrades as Depends.

On Focal, there was no such behaviour on a fresh ubuntu-server install:
$ sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
unattended-upgrades
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
Removing unattended-upgrades is quite popular amongst our users, and they should be allowed to remove the package without removing the ubuntu-server-minimal metapackage.
Looking at the source package for ubuntu-meta, unattended-upgrades is only Depends for ubuntu-server-minimal, maybe we should simply remove it?
