Bug#663290: /etc/cron.daily/apt delays others for 1800 seconds

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1

It seems that /etc/cron.daily/apt delays the other daily
cron jobs registered in /etc/cron.daily for up to 30 minutes
(APT::Periodic::RandomSleep).

I doubt that this is reasonable. If other scripts would do
the same, then we end up running the last job during regular
working hours.

My suggestion would be to run the apt script by dedicated
crontab entries in /etc/cron.d instead.
