Title:
  unattended-upgrades broken by python-upgrade

Status in python3.10 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in python3.12 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in python3.8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  at least focal and jammy are affected
  automatic updates installed "python3.10:amd64 3.10.12-1~22.04.6" tonight. This updated does not contain functions/classes required by unattended-upgrade. It resulted in broken status-emails for me, otherwise I would not have seen.

  One could argue that the bug is with python3.10, since there should be
  no breaking changes in LTS.
