I somehow thought that this was intentional behavior, that we would download all of the packages so that they would be available to apply quickly, even if we would only automatically install the security updates.

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.
