Yes, on systems with swecurity concerns or limited bandwidty, the
ability to disasble any uncommanded actions needs to be available.
Especially those that acces the Internet.

Title:
  Unable to remove unattended-upgrades

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The presence of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades (in package
  unattended-upgrades) prevents editing the option for deciding how
  security updates should be handled in Software Sources dialog
  (Software Sources -> Updates -> When there are security updates). In
  fact, the combo box for this option is disabled.

  However, I cannot remove unattended-upgrades. Because attempting to do so display this:
  > sudo apt-get remove unattended-upgrades
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
