The APT cron job has a random delay to avoid having many thousands of
machines hitting mirrors at the very same time.
Perhaps we should rename it zzz-apt as to not delay the other jobs
randomly? or we could use /etc/cron.d instead of cron.daily.
As a workaround, you can move /etc/cron.daily/apt to /etc/apt-daily-cron and
add an entry in /etc/crontab such as:
25 6 * * root /etc/apt-daily-cron
