- Merge backports functionality into upgrades module.
- No need to enable systemd timer as dh_installsystemd automatically enables
this during package installation and upgrade.
- Use https:// and deb.debian.org for repository checking. When using Tor for
package installations request the URL via Tor.
- Make daily checking service more generic for all kind of future apt repository
updates.
- Force removal of repository file during purge to avoid failures.
- Don't add contrib/non-free as backports is intended to be enabled for just the
freedombox package and it is free. When the need arises, we can introduce
contrib/non-free. This also eliminates an issue that adding these components
doesn't work without the usage of tor.
- Allow generate apt preferences file to avoid lintian complaining about its
presence. Remove on purge.
- Add unattended upgrades origin pattern to allow it to upgrade from backports
repositories.

The unattended-upgrades package removes older kernel packages before
starting the upgrade process, so that the current kernel and the newly
installed kernel will be retained and all older kernel packages will
be removed.
The removal of older kernel packages requires "apt autoremove" to list
them. So, a setting to enable autoremoval of packages has been turned
on as well.
When tested on a vagrant box, the current kernel 4.17.0.1 and the new
kernel 4.17.0.3 have been retained. Older kernels were removed
preemptively before the installation of 4.17.0.3
