New description:

 upgrades take up a significant chunk of time every week and distract
 sysadmins (or at least me) from focusing on other projects.

 upgrades should be therefore automated, as much as possible.

 see also #31239 about auomated installs and this is part of the wider "ops
 card questionnaire", where we answered no to a question about this, see
 #30881.

 checklist:

 * [x] install needrestart everywhere, in interactive mode
 * [x] switch needrestart to automatic mode
 * [ ] install unattended-upgrades everywhere
 * [ ] fix major upgrades docs to disable unattended-upgrades during the
 upgrade run
 * ~~[ ] automate reboots~~ see #33406 instead

Comment (by anarcat):

 move automated reboots to another ticket, #33406
