If your system is not always up and you have anacron installed, doing it this way is better than creating a cron job running apt-get update. Because anacron is responsible for the execution of scripts under /etc/cron.daily (see /etc/anacrontab), you are assured that the update is run as soon as your system is up and 24 hours are elapsed since the last time the scripts under /etc/crond.daily/ were run.
