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
