Bug Description
[Impact]
* I would like to propose a one-off full backport of unattended-upgrades
1.2ubuntu1 to Bionic, Artful, Xenial and possibly Trusty releases because selectively backporting fixes for crashes and for issues that made u-u unreliable would be more risky thanks to the huge number of fixes and the
inter-dependencies between them.
[Test Case]
* Since this backport involves fixing several bugs and this bug itself covers the full backport this is an overview of all LP bugs the upload fixes:
- most important bugs (feel free to add more)
+ LP: #1615381 : apt-get autoremove may remove current kernel
All LP bugs fixed by the backport, comments are welcome:

[Regression Potential]
* Due to this update covering the full backport unattended-upgrades can regress in any imaginable way including failing to install, upgrade, run, or removing essential packages from the system. Those are unlikely.* There are open bugs about u-u being slower than in the past, thus this may be a likely regression but IMO the pending speed optimizations should not be blocking the backport because the reliability issues are more important to fix and speed optimizations can be cherry-picked later.
[Other Info]
I asked for an exception for the package in following the SRU process:

I'm preparing the backport in ppa:rbalint/scratch and also run
autopkgtests on it in addition to testing it manually in VMs.
