unattended-upgrade email should inform if reboot is required

[Nick Barcet]

Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades

unattended-upgrade sends an email informing of an upgrade if 'Unattended-Upgrade::Mail' is set in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades, but this email does not clearly indicate to the admin wether a reboot is required or not.

I think it would be useful to add this, with maybe even a hint such as a [reboot] tag in the title, in the mail that is sent.

This is a first pass at adding such support, feedback welcome.

I've removed the debdiff while I make a couple of improvements. I'll upload again tomorrow.

Debdiff to add suggested support. Working locally here on a couple of test of machines. Too late for Karmic but might be worth looking at for Lucid. Feedback welcome.
