Title:
  update-notifier-common weekly cron job runs at the same time for all
  computers across the globe

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  /etc/cron.weekly/update-notifier-common is run at the same time on all
  machines across the globe. It's putting unnecessary stress on
  Canonical's infrastructure (changelogs.ubuntu.com, specifically).
  Could we please have this job spread out over 24h ?

  And could we please SRU this change ?

  Thanks
