[Bug 1820614] [NEW] Mail notification's headlines do not mention autoremovals

[Nils Toedtmann]

Public bug reported:

We run unattended-upgrades happily with 'Unattended-Upgrade::Mail'
active and 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies'

Sometimes a UU run would not install nor hold anything, but only
autoremove packages that have become obsolete, typically old kernels. In
such cases, UU's mail notification reads:

"""
 Unattended upgrade returned: True
 
 Warning: A reboot is required to complete this upgrade.

 Packages that were upgraded:
 
 Package installation log:
 [...]
"""

Which is quite irritating.

It would be very helpful if it also contained a line "Packages that were
(auto-)removed:"

** Affects: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu)
