[Bug 1267059] Re: "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work
Could someone with the permissions to do so *please* "Nominate this for
series" - tagging it as also applying to 12.04? - as per my comment #45.
I would, but appear not to have sufficient permission. (Oddly the
"Nominate this for series" option only shows while I'm logged out).

Note that the majority of these packages have been installed by

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
