The unattended-upgrades tool on Debian/Ubuntu works like this when
configured to install updates during shutdown (the same idea as systemd's
"reboot to a special mode, install updates, reboot again", but with fewer
reboots). I can confirm that in recent-ish systemd (v232 in Debian 9,
although not the older v215 in Debian 8) the ExecStart is unnecessary.
