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.
