[Bug 1603620] [NEW] Unattended upgrades does not upgrade kernel even if it is available.

[Jarno Suni]

Public bug reported:

Newest kernel available currently is 4.4.0-31-generic, but

$ linux-version list
4.2.0-38-generic
4.4.0-24-generic
4.4.0-28-generic

`apt-get dist-upgrade` does not upgrade kernel either, unless I run
`apt-get update` first.

I wonder why kernel was not upgraded 2016-07-16 morning.
