This is caused by these options:
$ grep -R Download-Upgradeable-Packages /etc/apt
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic:APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades:APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages
"1";
They should be 0 w/ recent APT (which runs unattended-upgrade
--download-only based on the unattended-upgrades interval), but are set
to 1, which means we download all upgradable packages before running u-u
--download-only.

Daily apt update timer downloads all dist-upgradable packages

Bug description:
[Impact]
apt-daily.service accidentally runs apt-get -d dist-upgrade after the first
time it runs unattended-upgrades -d due to the latter reusing the stamp of the
former.
This means that machines download all packages that can be dist-
upgraded rather than just the security updates unattended-upgrades
will install; which means they might be wasting bandwidth.
