unattended-upgrade is supposed to be run by /etc/cron.daily/apt. If you
customised this some time ago and have not accepted the current version
from the apt package then it might not be run regularly.
Also, upgrades that will require manual interaction due to configuration
file changes are not installed. This is only recorded in the log (grep
for "not upgraded"). The version in unstable has an option to send mail,
but I'm not sure whether this information would appear in mail (and this
seems pointless given that cron already has that functionality).
