Package: unattended-upgrades Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
If it were possible, I'd like to see unattended-upgrades not enable itself by default when the user first installs it. I'm actually not sure what the default is when you specifically tell it to install - aka "apt install unattended-upgrades", but in any event I feel it should a) be off by default unless the user specifically configures it to be on and more importantly b) some packages have unattended-upgrades as a dependency or in recommends (I've noticed it gets installed sometimes as an effect of installing some other packages) - in that case ESPECIALLY it should really *not* be enabled by default. Just my 2 cents. This also happens in Sid (it's not as catastrophic in Stable though it can be) where one really wants to vet one's updates as there's higher chance of breakage. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
