Thanks for cleaning out the old bug reports!

I checked the dependencies of python3-software-properties (on daedalus)
and it has neither Recommends: nor Suggests: anymore.

Checking a --dry-run install of task-kde-desktop (on daedalus) following
the approach from my original bug report no longer tries to install the
unattended-upgrades.

Finally fixed then :-)
