Please note, APT package since 0.5.28 Ubuntu hoary and 0.5.29 Debian
unstable (Sat, 13 Nov 2004) has its own script /etc/cron.daily/apt,
which can do:
* fancy auto-clean with rule
* check and download upgradable packages automatically
* automatic unattended upgrade
+ need to install unattended-upgrades package
+ aimed for security upgrade and have its blacklist capability
+ mail capability (The extent of this, i do not know for sure?)

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02backup and 50unattended-upgrades).
Your cron-apt can run without python since it is shell script but its
capability is limitted.
