Bug Description
unattended-upgrades overrides the setting of APT_LISTCHANGES
What I expected to happen:
i expected apt-listchanges to conform to its configuration. setting the "none" frontend in /etc/apt/
What happened instead:
unattended-upgrades does not respect the frontend setting, essentially now replicating the bad behavior this snippet was originally meant to workaround (i.e., mail is currently sent when email_address is set but frontend=none). with the attached patch the frontend specified in listchanges.conf is no longer unnecessarily overridden.
