The rational is that we need to spread the load on the mirrors
that apt update and unattended-upgrades cause. To do so, we
leverage the RandomizeDelay feature of systemd. The other advantage
is that the timer is not run at a fixed daily.daily time but
instead every 24h. This also fixes the problem that the randomized
deplay in the current apt.cron.daily causes other cron jobs to
be deplayed.
A compatibility cron job is also provided for systems that do not
use systemd.
Note that the time is fired two times a day, but the logic inside
of apt.systemd.daily will ensure (via stamp files) that the
servers are hit at most every 24h. Firing two times a day helps
with the worst case update time and it also helps with systems
that are not always on.

In order to allow regular cleaning of the downloaded deb archives
the new option APT::Periodic::CleanInterval is added. It will run
"apt-get clean" in the given time interval.

The "standard" which (debianutils) has no output whatsoever on stderr,
bash and dash which use this implementation therefore haven't either.
In zsh 'which' is a shell built-in – and has no stderr output either, it
does print an error message on stdout…
So, realistically, a redirection isn't needed at all, but it also can't
hurt (<- I have said that before in this context ->) so why not for
consistency with… well, not with "command -v" as that hasn't an error
message either. Lets say for consistency with my mental image of shell,
as I am still a bit puzzled by zsh's which and now could imagine even
more strange things in other shells.

In e75e5879 'replace "which" with "command -v" for portability' I missed
that command -v isn't actually required to be available in debian, so
for the 5 files we are using it:
Two (abicheck/run_abi_test & test/integration/framework) are called in
environments were I believe sh is at least dash or 'better' as the first
one is "interactive" for apt developers and the later is sourced by ~200
tests in the same directory run by hand and ci-services – for the later
we have pulled some uglier hacks for worser things already, so if there
should actually end up needing something more compatible we will notice
eventually (and the later actually had a command -v call for some time
already and nobody came running).
debian/rules and debian/apt.cron.daily I switched back to which as that
is more or less debian-specific or at least highly non-critical.
That leaves cmdline/apt-key.in with a bunch of calls where I will
implement that functionality in shell as this is relatively short-lived
as it is used to detect wget (for net-update, which Michael wants to
revive and in that process will properly use apt-helper instead of wget)
and to detect gpg vs. gpg2 systems, where the earlier is supposed to go
away in the longrun (or the later, but by replacing the earlier…).
[and this gpg/gpg2 detection is new in sid, so I have some sympathy for
that being a problem now.]

which is a debian specific tool packaged in debianutils (essential)
while command is a shell builtin defined by POSIX.
