The crash was first found and fixed in LP: #1737717 but the fix LP:
#1778219 introduced it in a slightly different way on start-up.
With the fix for LP: #1737717 u-u.service can gracefully stop u-u when
the APT configuration became broken _after_ starting the u-u.service but
the service still throws an unhandled exception when it starts with an
already broken APT configuration.
Since the original behaviour was crashing on u-u.service stopping i'm
marking this but as verified on 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.1.

[Regression Potential]
- * U-u-s used to exit crashing, now it exits with an error code, just logging
the error. There is little chance for regressing here, but users may have
harder time to figure out why u-u-s exited, they need to check the log file.
- * There is also an enhancement request tracked to start u-u-s with a default
config when parsing the config fails to be able to act on shutdown:
+ * U-u.service used to stop crashing, now it exits normally when the APT
configuration was valid when it was started. There is little chance for
regressing here since the configuration file is not read again.
+ * There is also an enhancement request tracked to start u-u-s with a default
config when parsing the config fails to be able to act on shutdown:
