Hi Paul, Thanks for the extremely quick bug report! :-)

The main aim of unattended-upgrades is keeping packages up to date with stable-security. IMO reporting kept back security fixes is more useful than suppressing them as a default but I also understand that seeing a lot of kept back packages which are known by the administrator adds too much noise. I think a good compromise is allowing ignoring kept packages and packages from particular origins being reported as kept by the following configuration options respectively: Unattended-Upgrade::Ignore-Kept {"libc6$";}; Unattended-Upgrade::Ignore-Kept-Origins {...}; What do you think?
