Package: apt
Version: 1.8.2.1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

Since apt transitioned from a cronjob to a systemd timer,
/etc/cron.daily/apt-compat now starts with:

   if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
       exit 0
   fi

Sadly, this cronjob was also the one responsible for parsing
APT::Periodic::RandomSleep.

The new systemd timer indeed seems to hardcode the RandomizedDelaySec
value [1].

Would it be possible to change that behavior and make sure the systemd
timer also uses the APT::Periodic::RandomSleep parameter?

Thanks,

No, please configure the timer with a drop-in. Currently the timer
runs at a random time throughout the day (it has 24h randomization).

There's no plan to provide configurability of any delays or intervals
outside of systemd timers. Currently we still honor the options, but
they cannot interact correclty with when the timers are launched, and
retries on failure. Hence we'll be moving to a world where you do any
configuration of timing aspects via systemd timers.
