[Eric Desrochers <1906302@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran 'sos report -o apt' on each release and look for the logs and if
the content was part of the sosreport tarball. Running it with this
particular CLI prevent limit the run to 'apt' and prevent other plugin
to be exercise. I also ran it with 'sos report -a' where all plugin that
meet conditions runs. In either case, all went well.

I confirm the /var/log/unattended-upgrades logs are no longer collected
by the 'logs' plugin anymore but by the 'apt' plugin now as it should.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Having u-u logs collection inside the apt plugin make more sense
  (instead of logs plugin) as it is using apt functionalities and python
  modules such as apt, apt_inst, apt_pkg.

  u-u is a mechanism to automatically install security upgrades on
  Debian/Ubuntu. It is enabled by default at installation.

  'sos' philosophy is that each plugin should be taken care of its own
  logs.

  [Test case]

  * Deploy Ubuntu (A container will do)
  * Run sosreport and make sure the systemd plugin is executed
    ** sosreport -o apt
  * Look the content of the generated tarball under 'path_to_sosreport/var/log/unattended-upgrades/'

  * And under 'path_to_sosreport/sos_logs/sos.log' for the execution log
  of the 'apt' plugin:

  sos.log:2021-02-06 11:23:55,257 INFO: [plugin:apt] collecting path
  '/var/log/unattended-upgrades/.....

  [Where problem could occur]

  If a problem have to occur, it will only be impacting the apt plugin
  itself, not the core functionalities of 'sos' nor its other plugins.

  A third party vendor might have to break the habit to assume that the
  'logs' plugin will take care of the 'u-u' logs, and that 'apt' is the
  way to move forward now.
