Document configuration of unattended upgrades

With the default configuration of unattended upgrades on Debian, these packages are not being updated. I'm suggesting to include some hints to the FAQ - if you give me some information, I'll write that.

First question would be: Is it at all a good idea for "normal" users to include it in unattended upgrades? Is the way shown at https://blog.christosoft.de/2018/08/unattended-upgrades-mono-debian/ right?:

"site=packages.sury.org";

What will be upgraded then? => Just patch versions (e.g. 8.1.2 -> 8.1.3) or major/minor versions too? How can this be configured?

Following the documentation at https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/blob/master/README.md

# Debian
$ apt policy
1000 https://packages.sury.org/php bullseye/main amd64 Packages
     release o=deb.sury.org,a=bullseye,n=bullseye,c=main,b=amd64
     origin packages.sury.org

# Ubuntu
$ apt policy
 500 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
     release v=22.04,o=LP-PPA-ondrej-php,a=jammy,n=jammy,l=***** The main PPA for supported PHP versions with many PECL extensions *****,c=main,b=amd64
     origin ppa.launchpadcontent.net

I put this in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades:

Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern {
  // Debian
  "origin=deb.sury.org,archive=${distro_codename}";

  // Ubuntu
  "origin=LP-PPA-ondrej-php,archive=${distro_codename}";
};
