Please consider including the provided/proposed patch in the next
upload.
Thanks.

When cron-apt runs and finds useful info, I have it set to notify users
directly. However, I'm getting logcheck mails like these for a portion
of the output.

May 24 05:00:02 cuimhne cron-apt: After this operation, 12.3kB of
additional disk space will be used.

Could I suggest the addition of these two lines into
/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cron-apt

^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ cron-apt: Reading state
information\.\.\.$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ cron-apt: After this operation,
[.0-9]+[gmk]?B of additional disk space will be used\.$
