I've noticed that when cron-apt upgrades the kernel and I don't get around to rebooting the system that day, it will keep "reinstalling" the new kernel each night it runs until I reboot the system.
Not sure what to do about this at the moment. Guess it doesn't really hurt anything. Since there doesn't seem to be any way of automatically detecting if a reboot is needed, the only option would seem to be always reboot nightly.
Going to think about this for a while. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment away.

have you tried unattended-upgrades? I don't have the problem you described on Ubuntu 8.10 with the package unattended-upgrades. Maybe the problem is cron-apt?
@DaveGG - No, I hadn't headed of unattended-upgrades. Thanks for the pointer, I will give it a try. Best docs I can find are here
