If an error occurs cron-apt should stop executing, but if you use the shell contexts it will actually just continue. I also wanted to keep the current function to make it possible to set variables that actually start with one config.d/foo and continue to the next as well. That is not possible as well. So this was the solution. However it could be better documented.
