I *think* the root of the issue is that the assumption in debian/rules
# we do not want to run the init script in the postinst/prerm, its
# really only useful on shutdown, see Debian bug #645919
dh_installinit $@ --no-start -- stop 10 0 6 .
is wrong.
It is not only useful on shutdown but also when dpkg-reconfigure is
invoked.
As a strawman fix, I've uploaded a fixed (xenial) package to
https://launchpad.net/~tribaal/+archive/ubuntu/unattended-upgrades
It seems to fix the issue in my limited testing: running "dpkg-
reconfigure -fnoninteractive unattended-upgrades" does apply changes
passed by debconf-set-selections.
I'll attach a debdiff to this bug as well, and open a pull request
upsteam.
