Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * Unattended-upgrades tries to mark packages for upgrade and when it
fails to do so and falls back to mark adjusting packages to use
candidates from allowed origins it can spend a lot of CPU time on
packages which are not installable in the end.

[Test Case]

 * Mark an upgradable package from the security pocket as held.
 * Observe u-u adjusting only direct dependencies, instead of doing it 
recursively.

[Regression Potential]

 * U-u may fail to install updates due to APT not finding a solution
without having transitive dependences adjusted. In those cases the
update should mark the transitive dependencies which enable the update
as direct dependencies.

** Affects: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
