What I expected to happen: i expected apt-listchanges to conform to its configuration. setting the "none" frontend in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf should ensure it "Does nothing" as per the manpage. What happened instead: unattended-upgrades does not respect the frontend setting, essentially now replicating the bad behavior this snippet was originally meant to workaround (i.e., mail is currently sent when email_address is set but frontend=none). with the attached patch the frontend specified in listchanges.conf is no longer unnecessarily overridden.
