Avoiding unattended upgrades?

[Mel Wilson]

I see that Ubuntu is back to pushing unattended upgrades last thing in 
its security updates.  My gut feeling is to disapprove: I don't think 
I'm my most productive if I constantly wonder what might have happened 
to my toolchains and system while my back was turned.  Two questions:

1) Am I overreacting?

2) Are there any serious caveats about installing, say, Debian instead?  
I have my /home directories sequestered and backed up.  I've learned 
that much, at least.

     Thanks,        Mel.
