There's this (not sure if it's your issue or not):

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837155

 If /var resides on a separate file-system which is unmounted before
 unattended-upgrade-shutdown is run, it may repeatedly (by default for
 10 minutes) try to acquire it's lock-file but fail since the containing
 folder doesn't exist.

For which the fix is a file
 
 /etc/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service.d/mounts.conf

containing

 [Unit]
 RequiresMountsFor=/var/log

Maybe irrelevant. Or not. 

A bientôt,
