This seems to be fixed long time ago.

Cheers,

 I think the idea is n=squeeze is supposed to match the Codename
 attribute in the Release file.  It would be great if it worked, but I
 don't see how it can because the python apt package doesn't include an
 element describing the codename in
 apt.Cache()[package].candidate.origins, and neither can I see any code
 in unattended-upgrades that would match it.
 
 It may looks like it works because unattended-upgrade doesn't report an
 error if you give it a keyword it doesn't understand (like n or
 codename).  A side effect of this is if you included a line like
 true=true (or any other unknown keyword) every package will always
 match.

Uh, thanks indeed. I added code now that will raise a error if it
finds unknown matcher entry. And I will check out what it takes to add
the n matcher.

Cheers,
 Michael

I removed this example for now and added codename based matching in
python-apt,unattended-upgrades in the debian-experimental bzr branch.
