You are right, 'cron.d/apticron' is created by the `post-inst` script:
cat <<EOF >"$tmpfile"
# cron entry for apticron
$min $hour * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/apticron && /usr/sbin/apticron
--cron
EOF
ucf --debconf-ok --three-way "$tmpfile" /etc/cron.d/apticron
The changelog file does not contain an explanation for this
addition/duplication. I suspect that the author of `post-inst` meant to
use '/etc/cron.daily/apticron', not its '/etc/cron.d/' twin. This would
explain why they are identical.

apticron installs both 'cron.d/apticron' and 'cron.daily/apticron'
