@Jarno: IMO Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies is already a risky
option and I don't recommend enabling it because it may remove packages which
are not used according the to package-dependency chain but which users rely on
using software that is not packaged.
The only place I would use this option are dedicated server systems where
everything is packaged and which run services only without allowing user
shell/GUI logins.
This bug is about removing packages which became unused as a result of
running other package management tools, not u-u.
I consider this out of scope for u-u because it can be solved easily by
the used other package management tool and this feature will most likely
unpleasantly surprise users by removing unexpected packages.
