No prompts asking you about when using "apt-get upgrade"? Weird, because
that was what the log said and the package gets blacklisted because of

You can open a bug report for the involved package ("unattended-
upgrades"), instructions are here:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.en.html
(...)
Look, there was a similar bug for the Ubuntu package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/336558
Whose debian change log¹ says it was solved in... "unattended-upgrades
(0.55ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low" and lenny has... 0.25! Oh, well...
