We use it in production at work. Yes, it can, *provided* you don't have
any config file changes. That, it can't handle.
And forgive me a bit of a rant: it's a stereotypical Ubuntu hack job:
inefficient, chokes on fairly standard deviations from the norm and
badly documented.
I agree with the developers' sentiment that automatic upgrades are a
good thing, but I really think Debian could have cooked up a better
script than !@#$% 'unattended-upgrades'.
