Jumping into this bug...
It would definitely help me to have one unattended-upgrades
configuration that works without change across multiple Debian releases,
even when I choose to stay behind the current stable for a while. The
problem is, the archive/suite in Debian release files seems to be
oldstable or stable, while ${distro_codename} is squeeze or wheezy. So
there's nothing I can put in Allowed-Origins to track my current
release.
I think the easiest fix would be to add something like ${distro_archive}
with the current archive name. (I don't know where to get this from,
though, since it's not part of lsb_release.get_distro_information().) A
more flexible alternative would be to extend the Allowed-Origins syntax
to allow matching on the codename and label of the release. For
example, if you could match on the label "Debian-Security", you could
really limit unattended-upgrades to security upgrades.
(By the way, the Allowed-Origins entries like
"${distro_id} ${distro_codename}-security";
seem to be meaningless for Debian and should probably be removed to
reduce confusion.)
