Title:
  add timer setting for reboot process and give logged in users a
  warning

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

Bug description:
  Right now the automatic reboot is executed via `/sbin/reboot`, so
  happens instantly upon completion of the upgrades.  This is an
  unpleasant shock for users who are logged in.  It would be nicer if
  `/sbin/shutdown -r +<int>` were used.  <int> could come from a new
  configuration option.  That warns logged in users that a reboot is
  coming in <int> minutes, giving the people an opportunity to save
  work, etc.
