Package: apticron Version: 1.1.12 Severity: wishlist Basically I'd like to have the feature in apticron which cron-apt currently offers to prevent mirror-overloading; in short, it can be described as "sleep(rand(3600));".
Like cron-apt, apticron is also run via cron. If you're running dozens of servers (or take a look at "debian worldwide"), all those servers are about to hammer on your local debian mirror on 6:25am - to prevent such a situation, cron-apt has a feature which delays the check a random amount of seconds, but limits this to an hour.
