This does not appear to be a security update, but (looking at the
version numbers involved) a release upgrade from jessie to stretch,
though I could be wrong.  Security updates, in general, do not add or
remove dependencies without a real need.  The security team is very
sensitive to this.  Also, unattended-upgrades does not simply do apt-get
upgrade; I believe it does allow changing dependencies.

I'm not sure why you say «apt-get install ...» asking for confirmation
is unfortunate (or were you saying something else?).
