I don't think integration with cron-apt is needed anymore.
/etc/cron.daily/apt can be configured to do apt-get update && apt-get --download-only upgrade by setting the following configuration variables: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1"; Installing updates that don't ask configuration file questions is possible with unattended-upgrades. Getting emails about upgrades that were kept back is possible in the testing/unstable version of unattended-upgrades (at least partly until bug #526505 is fixed), otherwise you can do it with apticron. Do you know of anything possible with cron-apt that /etc/cron.daily/apt, unattended-upgrades and apticron can't do? These three already work together very well.
