Dear Release Team, I would like to propose a one-off full backport of unattended-upgrades 1.1ubuntu1 to Xenial and possibly Trusty releases because selectively backporting fixes for crashes and for issues that made u-u unreliable would be more risky thanks to the huge number of fixes and the inter-dependencies between them.
I prepared the backport in ppa:rbalint/scratch and also ran autopkgtests on it [1] in addition to testing it manually in VMs. I'm not fully satisfied with the 1.1ubuntu1 version looking at the collected errors [2], but the fixes of those errors should be applied on top of the 1.1ubuntu1 release possibly before letting the backported u-u package to migrate to xenial-updates from xenial-proposed. With the full backport I also propose keeping it in proposed longer than the minimum of 7 days.
