Title:
  autopkgtest should disable unattended-upgrades and related services

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  autopkgtest should disable or remove unattended-upgrades and related
  services, to avoid silly lock issues like this one from aborting a
  potentially expensive/long test:

  autopkgtest [11:17:08]: test systemd-socket-activation: preparing testbed
  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 109391 (unattended-upgr)
  E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
