20auto-upgrades is generated by dpkg-reconfigure for Unattended Upgrades instead of installed directly. Source: bazaar.launchpad.net/~unattended-upgrades-developers/…. Since each of the two files comes from a different package, using separate files makes installation and removal simpler.

@user535733 There is no reference to file 20auto-upgrades in your linked text.

See lines 84-93. While it's not explicit, that is how the file is created. Feel free to try it. Feel free also to offer a patch to the documentation.

@user535733 the documentation is old; github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/blob/master/README.md seems to be more up-to-date, but I am not sure, if it is the official one.dpkg-reconfiguremay modify 20auto-upgrades, but if I delete the file, it will not change the configuration.
