You might be interested in unattended-upgrades patches that I wrote for
SteamOS a few years ago: https://bugs.debian.org/741356

The SteamOS developers were concerned that an expectation that the
network is up during shutdown was unrealistic, so I changed the behaviour
to prepare and download an entire proposed upgrade and stash it in /var
before notifying the user that they should reboot, invalidating the
proposed upgrade if the apt state subsequently changes. A modified
version of my patches seems to be still in production use.

Unfortunately it seems the unattended-upgrades maintainer hasn't been
able to review or integrate these.
