just took a look into the maverick package: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/maverick/apt/maverick/annotate/head:/debian/apt.cron.daily
things seem to be better there: nice ionice -c3 update-apt-xapian-index -q
but we have the same issue as in bug 363695 - it should be something like this for best niceness: nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 update-apt-xapian-index --update --quiet
