Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.25.1debian1-0.1 Severity: wishlist Now that the trickle bug affecting e.g. apt is finally fixed (see #302313), it perhaps makes sense to let unattended-upgrades recommend trickle, and have a bandwidth option (expressed in kB/s, default setting maybe 25, with -1 or 0 as "unlimited" setting) which then can do its thing in case trickle is installed as recommended. Doing package upgrades in such a limited way in the background would provide further protection for bandwidth-sensitive services such as VoIP sessions (even a nicely configured QoS usually cannot fully protect against VoIP disruptions).
Also, does unattended-upgrades already provide configuration means to download the entire list of packages, not just security upgrades? (i.e. via apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade) In case of trickle support, providing such an option would be even more interesting than without support. Certain Other (tm) operating system vendors have been providing such functionality for some time already, or so I've been told.
