I don't want to put:

apt-get update

in:

/etc/crontab

But then how could I "automate" the:

apt-get update

? Is there a program for it? [e.g.: update-manager under GUI?] that
randomly runs apt-get update?

Thank you!

Consider cron-apt too.

APT has such built-in feature, see
/etc/cron.daily/apt
Which you can configure manually, or...

On Debian-Gnome installation, you can install update-notifier-common
which provide the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic, which contains
the required apt settings:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";

(Since I don't use it on my laptop, I can't give you much details)

On servers, you might want to une apt-listchanges to get notifications,
see:
