But isn't unattended-upgrades installed by default?

$ apt-cache show unattended-upgrades |grep Task
Task: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-usb, cloud-image, kubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-full, 
kubuntu-active-desktop, kubuntu-active-full, kubuntu-active, edubuntu-desktop, 
edubuntu-desktop-kde, edubuntu-usb, xubuntu-desktop, mythbuntu-frontend, 
mythbuntu-desktop, mythbuntu-backend-slave, mythbuntu-backend-master, 
mythbuntu-backend-master, lubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop

So, to configure it, you just do
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades
Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping systems 
secure. By default, updates need to  │  
 │ be applied manually using package management tools. Alternatively, you can 
choose to have this system                 │  
 │ automatically download and install security updates.                         
                                                                                
        │

                                                      │  
 │ Automatically download and install stable updates?
