I remember a thread last year saying that unattended-upgrades should be installed by default, and enabled. I guess that is what you're seeing here Patrick. This was on debian-devel - I thought it related to d-i but it may be brought in as default package on dist-upgrade. have a look here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/11/msg00262.html
