You mean something like: emplate: pkgsel/update-policy Type: select Default: unattended-upgrades Choices-C: none, unattended-upgrades __Choices: No automatic updates, Install security updates automatically _Description: Updates management on this system: Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping the system secure. .
