[Bug 1872215] [NEW] There should be a GUI option to install non-security packages too

[Adam Niedling]

Public bug reported:

The Software & Updates program lacks the option for the user to allow
Ubuntu to automatically install non-security packages. It only supports
security packages.

I know Unattended-upgrades supports automatic upgrading of other
packages but it might be too complicated for new users. There should be
an easier way.

Consider that Windows also deals with software updates "unattended" by
default.
