[Bug 1577215] Re: Origin pattern is unexpected on dpkg-reconfigure

[Brian Murray]

Hello Mark, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unattended-upgrades into xenial-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/unattended-upgrades/1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.0 in a few hours, and then
in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Origin pattern is unexpected on dpkg-reconfigure

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In testing out the new unattended-upgrades behaviour I was asked an
  unexpected question about the "unattended-upgrades Origin-Pattern".
  This is not a great experience, it doesn't match anything other than
  internal code patterns.

  For example, the default offered does NOT look like a sensible Ubuntu
  default for Ubuntu users:

    "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-
  Security";___

  Is that correct, or a mistake?

  What I would expect is simply this:

   Install security updates (Y/N)
   Install performance and reliability updates (Y/N)
   Install updates from unofficial archives (Y/N)

  The latter would map to all PPAs etc.
