We now have support for directly rebuilding Debian sources and this is resolved
in Ceres.

Note that rebuilding means the version number does not change.

Closing.

Thanks

A new version of unattended-upgrades fixes this issue in both jessie and
ascii.
A patch has been sent upstream for beowulf+ support.

Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.83.3.2+deb8u1
Severity: important

I think the expected behaviour for unattended-upgrades with default
configuration is to only install security updates, however no updates are
installed at all.

The only uncommented line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades is:
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";
which looks like it should match the security repo, but for Devuan it 
does not.
I have added this line:
"a=stable-security,label=Devuan";
Which now correctly matches updates from the security repo.

This means manual intervention is required to configure the package to 
achieve
what is expected default behaviour, someone installing this package assuming
that it will apply security updates may get a nasty surprise!

I'm not sure the best way to fix this, adding the line as I have done 
feels a
bit like a workaround, as a comment in the config file says it reads 
variables
from /etc/debian_version, but this is not present on Devuan. We probably 
need
to patch something to read the /etc/devuan_version file. However, this 
alone
I don't think will solve the issue as it looks like origin, codename and 
label
differ between Debian and Devuan repos, so all the other example 
patterns in the
file may also need tweaking one way or another.

If I get a chance I will take a deeper look but it may be a while.
