Dear Olaf,

I double-checked and there is no task-parl-desktop in Devuan. There is
a parl-desktop meta-package (a blend, "DebianParl desktop for
parliamentary work", sic!) and it would indeed bring in
unattended-upgrades (it's a Depends there). However, that meta-package
is not selectable at install timein Devuan. Similarly,
task-gnome-desktop is not available in the Devuan installer.

None of the available task-*-desktop options brings in
unattended-upgrades (even with --install-recommends), with the only
exception of task-kde-desktop with --install-recommends. We need to
track down what is bringing it in, and remove it.

It's in my todo-list, but I would be grateful of you would be so kind
to please open a bug on bugs.devuan.org, so we are sure we don't
forget it.

Thanks a lot
