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?

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:

kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

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.

have a look here:

Unfortunately it clashes with template usage patterns... and probably not great for template-based VMs either.

Automatic updates would be better initiated from dom0, since the templates don't run on a regular basis and there are VM maintenance issues as well.
