Yes, it's a separate package (although it's obviously closely coupled with 
the apt package manager).

That should be possible. Currently the package contains 
/lib/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service which contains:

Only the maintainer Michael Vogt can decide if he wants to go in that 
direction, thus I added him as CC.

@Michael Vogt:
The discussion is about adding a watchdog to systemd to power down the system 
if the shutdown takes longer than some time (i.e. 30 minutes). The question 
was how to avoid killing unattended-upgrade during a longer upgrade if it is 
configured to update the packages at shutdown.

Kind regards
