This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.2.29
---------------
apt (1.2.29) xenial; urgency=medium
* Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED when running {pre,post}-invoke scripts.
Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because
the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for
all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs,
but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time.

Bug description:
[Impact]
When running kernel version 4.4.0-78 (for example) and the unattended-upgrade
packages installs a new kernel 4.4.0-79 (for example) the
linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-78 and linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-78-generic packages are
removed by the Remove-Unused-Dependencies rule, because unlike "normal" kernel
packages they are not excluded by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels.
The linux-cloud-tools package has the hyper-v integration services
daemons in it, so it's deletion leaves some of the integration not
working.
Could /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels be updated so other
hyper-v users aren't caught out by this?
Thanks,
Ian.
[Test case]
Make sure that linux-cloud-tools for protected kernels are listed in
APT::NeverAutoRemove, for example, on cosmic:
"^linux-cloud-tools-4\.17\.0-9-generic$";
"^linux-cloud-tools-4\.18\.0-7-generic$";
Those are in 01autoremove-kernels
[Regression Potential]
some linux-cloud-tools will linger around, so it takes more space.
