Title:
  Unattended-upgrade starts upgrading packages on dev release 21 days
  before the release date

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  With the default configuration (nothing changed), I see in the
  development version of ubuntu (disco) that unattended-upgrade is now
  updating every package first thing after boot.

  As you can see below, it didn't update packages from the security
  pocket, but all packages in the release pocket (mutter, gnome-shell
  and others just migrated to disco-release).

  1. This makes on the development version a PITA, because you don't control your own updates
  2. I didn't enroll to update all packages at any time
  3. "Software & Updates" tells me it is set to only auto-install security updates, which isn't the case (at least on the development version)
