This fix only works in english localization. Still getting these lines in german with 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.11 on bionic LTS:

[Test Case] * Run package autopkgtest and observe no such lines in the echoed email in upgrade-all-security and upgrade-between-snapshots tests. [Regression Potential] * The fix filters dpkg's output only and in the worst case other lines could be missing or u-u could crash. Since the applied hard- coded regex pattern is fairly simple and we observed no crashes in the tests those regressions are unlikey to occur. [Originial Bug Text] This concerns unattended-upgrades 0.90 in Xenial. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail report sent out by u-u after the upgrade process is completed: Package installation log: Log started: 2016-07-06 17:24:21 Preconfiguring packages ...

As a matter of fact, those lines do not appear in messages mailed out from current Trusty systems (u-u version 0.82.1ubuntu2.4), so this appears to be a regression.
