Include variable 'RandomSleep'.
When the apt job starts, it will sleep for a random period between 0 and
APT::Periodic::RandomSleep seconds. The default value is "1800" so that
the script will stall for up to 30 minutes (1800 seconds) so that the
mirror servers are not crushed by everyone running their updates all at
the same time. Only set this to 0 if you use a local mirror and don't
mind the load spikes. Note that while the apt job is sleeping it will
cause the execution of the rest of your cron.daily jobs to be delayed.
