It would actually be better to honor the sysadmins instruction and
install the untrusted packages rather than adding the packages to the
blacklist

Title:
untrusted packages silently added to blacklist
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Packages that are not trusted are added to the blacklist but no reason
is ever printed out while running in debug mode causing confusion as
to why a package would be blacklisted until you dig into the source.
Release: All versions
Package: All versions
Expected behavior: Print out debug message that informs user package was
blacklisted due to not being trusted
Actual behavior: Message saying package is blacklisted without reason
Still trying to figure out how to properly upload a patch to this, but
basically just adding
logging.debug("%s blacklisted because it's not trusted" %
pkgname_from_deb(item.destfile))
to line 946 would suffice
