Package: cron-apt
Severity: normal

APT already provides a carefully planned cron job and
systemd timers that do careful things like spreading
updates around the entire day, not blocking cron jobs
by sleeping (if using systemd) and perform unattended
upgrades using unattended-upgrades. This is used by
default in all Ubuntu installations.

It would be better to work on the apt one together
instead of having two cron jobs that each have their
own shortcomings (maybe we can add some hooks to the
apt cron job / systemd timers?).
