Bug Description
Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades
I have a dapper server system with unattended-upgrades installed.
It doesn't actually do anything since the package doesn't install
(something like) /etc/apt/
update-manager package to configure it to make the upgrades
happen. Its description suggests that just installing it will DTRT,
especially in the absence of any documentation, and it fooled
me as a non-beginner.
It's a security issue because people installing the package would
reasonably expect to get security updates automatically but won't
get them.

This is not trivial because unattended-upgrades is installed by default on all ubuntu systems.
