When using default settings for unattended-upgrades i.e.
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "false";
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencie "true";
U-U is unable to remove packages that become unused in conjunction with updating by other software such as update-manager or apt full-upgrade. This is because U-U compares the list of unneeded packages before and after it upgrades packages to detect which packages are new unused ones.
