apt plugin from debians hobbit-plugins package

i made a little change in /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext/apt

in @stamp_files add "/var/lib/apticron/last_run" and remove "/var/lib/apt/lists/lock".

before:
my @stamp_files = qw(/var/lib/apt/update_success /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp /var/lib/apt/lists/lock);
after:
my @stamp_files = qw(/var/lib/apt/update_success /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp /var/lib/apticron/last_run);

works fine in lenny

On my side I just changed my crontab :

apt-get update && touch /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

so if the update is succesfull, the mtime of /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is
changed, and the apt plugin reports green.

Ah, looks like using a lock file doesn't update the mtime. I didn't
notice until now as I'm using the "all-included" hack suggested in
apt.pl:

44 */4	* * *	root  ! apt-get -qq update 2>&1 | grep -q . && date -u > /var/lib/apt/update_success

Unfortunately apt-get update even returns 0 in case of some errors
(iirc unknown apt-keys etc.), so this command checks for an empty
output of apt-get -qq update instead.
