What I expected ?
The configuration file refers to a file that doesn't exist. I'd expect the file to exist, or it to have a set of template configurations that I can fill in. Or to refer to other documentation that explained how to use it.
What happened instead ?
The file wasn't there. Leaving me a little unsure how to actually configure it.
I thought that maybe there's a '-docs' package to install to get the documentation, but none appears in the search:
```
root@6e12e55283
cron-apt - automatic update of packages using apt-get
```
Aside:
Using `docker run -it --rm debian` instead (version 12.1), the README.gz is present in the doc directory.
