Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Precise:

Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Trusty:

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.
