@Steve Brorens:  It's actually the little "Tags" section under the bug
description and right before the comments that needs edited.  Remove
'verification-needed' and add 'verification-done', and that should be
it!

If you can, you may want to change "Confirmed" back to "Fix Committed" -
that's for confirming the bug exists, not for confirming that a proposed
package fixed it.  "Fix Committed" means the fix is developed, but
hasn't yet passed testing.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about how to mark this as also affecting
Precise.

Title:
  "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a system that runs unattended-upgrades just fine. Now i want to
  automate removal of old kernels and kernel header packages that are
  accumulating otherwise. So i set 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-
  Dependencies "true";'. But it doesn't work.

  Note that the majority of these packages have been installed by
  unattended-upgrades from precise-security.

  According to the comments within/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-
  upgrades, this should automate autoremoval:

    // Do automatic removal of new unused dependencies after the upgrade
    // (equivalent to apt-get autoremove)
    Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";

  but nothing happens (note the line "Packages that are auto removed: ''
  ":

  $ unattended-upgrades --debug --dry-run
