[Bug 1645687] Re: 50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist

[Balint Reczey]

Unattended-upgrade uses ufc(1) to manage the related conffiles and ucf
creates those copies during the update.
Starting with u-u 1.4 README.md recommends creating separate
configuration files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d to avoid updates to
conflict with local changes.

Latest apt ignores the .ucf-* files which is the right thing IMO and
either giving warning or not giving a warning is OK on apt's side.
