Re: What does 'apt' in /etc/cron.daily do?

I agree that this is underdocumented. But you can deduce some bits of
that it does by the apt settings it honours. Part of my
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local:

APT {
  // see: /etc/cron.daily/apt
  Periodic {
    Update-Package-Lists "1";
    Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
    AutocleanInterval "1";
    MinAge "3";
    MaxAge "7";
    MaxSize "1024";
  }

}

apt.conf(5) only mentions /etc/cron.daily/apt as source of
documentation, though.
