My humblest apologies.

I am getting awfully cranky from time to time lately, sorry about that.
 Sleep (and a new CPAP machine since the old one is busted, but first I
need get into the sleep lab for a retest) probably will go a long way to
help with that.

Anyway the real reason for the dist-upgrade wasn't unattended-upgrades,
and in fact the full commandline, which I was fortunately about to find
in my logs because I killed it, was from apticron and doesn't actually
do a dist-upgrade, just simulates one to find out what packages are
pending for an upgrade.

Regards,

Daniel
