No, that's not what the bug you pointed is about, the change was to
enable the standard pocket so new depends could be installed from the
archive, see http://launchpadlibrarian.net/292672379/unattended-
upgrades_0.92ubuntu1_0.92ubuntu1.1.diff.gz
the updates/proposed lines are still commented and that's also the case
in the current artful version

Title:
Doesn't auto open update-manager as it should
Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Since Xenial it seems that update-manager is not presented to users as
often as it should.
One possible reason is that update-notifier is trying to be too smart
about when it should open the updater and reset the counter when the
dpkg/apt logs timestamps change. The logic behind that was to try to
not bother command line users and don't present them the graphical UI
if they are doing their update using apt directly. That's not very
obvious how it's working though and not playing well with unattended-
upgrades (security updates get installed in background, the system
thinks it's users doing their updates manually and is never prompting
as a result).
The suggested fix is to just drop that smart behaviour and prompt
users after the configured delay. Command line users who don't like
that can just change the setting to "never"
