unattended-upgrades uses python. I'm not sure if it is slow and heavy, it does more checking so it takes longer. It will check before installing if the package installed will issue a conffile prompt. If this is the case the upgrade will be held back and a note is written to the log about it. It does indeed use apt-config, it just does not call the binary but uses the python-apt interface to the apt configuration system. > cron-apt: > + shell script > - does not use normal /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/*. > - does not use apt-config > - code is long for simple thing > > I am wondering if we can just replace unattended-upgrades functionality > using shell script.

It shouldn't be hard, it will will just be work for little gain (IMHO). What is the reason for the dislike of python?
