I don't see which concern you're talking about. If the version in
Etch didn't have a cronscript(!?), it clearly didn't deserve this
description, but newer versions do, so the only change this implies
to me is that maybe it should suggest anacron.
However, given that it has a debconf "off switch" (which seems
strange until I realise the package can be pulled in accidentally by
a dependency chain), it does make sense to modify the "will".
Also, "from the configured origin" sounds as if you might be pulling
security upgrades from a nonstandard host. If it's talking about
the difference between
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
and
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib
then, well, is "from the configured APT source" better?
> Add "optionnally" and replace "will" by "can".
s/optionnally/optionally/, but I'd say it as:
This package can download and install security upgrades automatically
and unattended, taking care to only install packages from the configured
APT source, and checking for conffile prompts.
