My experiences with unattended-upgrades from Wheezy is that it is not very useable for me. It's possible to get the security support working, but if you use other repositories like backports it's a pain to get it working and tested. I am using myself version 0.82.9 from testing on Wheezy. That's no problem because it's a Python program with no special dependencies. I've downloaded the deb-file, and used "dpkg -i" to install it. When you see errors you need "apt-get -f install". I've seen there is a version 0.82.10 in testing now, I expect it will be the same. In the newer version you can use "origin=*" (see /usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.md). When you use that, everything in your apt-configuration will be upgraded. Of cause you need to be careful with what you put in your apt-configuration. The older version in Wheezy has only it's own configuration which repositories to upgrade. In my experience this does not work nice.
