Thanks for your reply and sorry (again) for my slow reply.
I was thinking the strict whitelist vs relaxed whitelist over and I think the best option is to provide both but default to your initial version with the relaxed whitelist as this is probably what most people expect. If you whitelist e.g. ^apt$ you will want libapt-pkg4.11 as well.
I implemented this in lp:~mvo/unattended-upgrades/whitelist - it has a Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Whitelist-Strict" option now for people who want the strict behavior.
If you could double check by branch and also if the documentation makes sense, that would be great. If its all looking good I will make a new release with this feature. Thanks again for working on this!
