For older distros where apt daily still happens from cron (and not systemd timers), we could rename /etc/cron.daily/apt to something like zzapt so it happens at the very end so it doesn't delay all daily cron jobs. Then ship out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades overriding APT::Periodic::RandomSleep (3600) so it's easier for users to override if needed. > I mean, I change it to 2 hours now, and tomorrow someone else turns up > and either says 2 hours is too much or 2 hours is too low.
