The unattended-upgrades was not installed on my Debian jessie system.
After upgrading to Debian stretch, the package unattended-upgrades got
installed. 'reverse-depends unattended-upgrades' [1] did not make me any
wiser. There must be a gap of my apt knowledge. Can anyone shed light on
this please?
Best regards,

I remember a thread last year saying that unattended-upgrades should be
installed by default, and enabled. I guess that is what you're seeing
here Patrick.
This was on debian-devel - I thought it related to d-i but it may be
brought in as default package on dist-upgrade.
