To fully evaluate this idea I'd like some additional information. What in your opinion justifies the full backport of unattended-upgrades? Please provide some examples of bugs that would be fixed by SRU'ing version 1.1ubuntu1 of unattended-upgrades. > I prepared the backport in ppa:rbalint/scratch and also ran > autopkgtests on it [1] in addition to testing it manually in VMs. Speaking of the autopkgtests I didn't think the test coverage of unattended-upgrades was that great. Has this improved in version 1.1ubuntu1?

Fixing additional errors on top of 1.1ubuntu1 makes sense to me. > With the full backport I also propose keeping it in proposed longer > than the minimum of 7 days. This also sounds reasonable.
