Dear Maintainer,

I would to kindly ask you to backport the fix for #776752 to stable.
Not attaching the dpkg log is a severe deficiency, because e.g. the output
of
needrestart and apt-listchanges (once #755870 is fixed and also backported
to stable) is included and this means
that the administrator has to log onto the server and check the log manually
which pretty much defeats the purpose of unattended-upgrades.

As unattended-upgrades are commonly used on stable (as that's where such
automatic upgrades make the most sense),
I really think this should be fixed in stable ASAP. That's why I reported
it with severity important.

I'm not really sure whether to backport it through stable-updates or
stable-backports.
I think stable-updates is more appropriate here though. The fix is simple
enough and surely won't break anything else.

Kind regards,
Ondřej Grover

I'm closing this bug as it was a request to fix a bug in jessie,
which is long EOL and the fix should have landed in a (previous)
stable release.
