Also dropped the APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists hook
The frequency of updates should not be controlled by a metrics tool

# this is the apt hook provided by the pve exporter. This file shall be placed under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
APT::Update::Pre-Invoke {"touch /tmp/pkg-exporter-apt-update-pre"; };
APT::Update::Post-Invoke {"touch /tmp/pkg-exporter-apt-update-post"; };
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

In my opinion, we should leave that line as commented suggestion in the example

APT::Update::Post-Invoke {"touch /tmp/pkg-exporter-apt-update-post"; };

# These hooks ensure the metrics are automatically updated when apt is run
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"/usr/local/bin/pkg-exporter"};

Until we provide a debian package, also those shall be a commented suggestion, as we do not yet have a single way of installation.
In my optionion starting a systemd unit (if present) would be better than calling the binary directly, however that needs some work on the systemd side.
