This concerns unattended-upgrades 0.90 in Xenial.

Here is an excerpt from an e-mail report sent out by u-u after the upgrade process is completed:

All but the last "Reading database ..." line should be elided from the message.

As a matter of fact, those lines do not appear in messages mailed out from current Trusty systems (u-u version 0.82.1ubuntu2.4), so this appears to be a regression.
