You've got about 10 questions here. You won't find anyone that will do it all for you - so you're better off to ask more specific questions. If it looks like you're not making any attempt yourself- help will be scarce.
I'll give you a few pointers...although most of your questions don't have enough detail to provide an answer.
Do you know how to set up a crontab entry?
Saving a file with a date stamp....(use the search function in this forum - this has been addressed a number of times and you should find what you are looking for here).
Same with automated mailing.
look up find and mtime for the set period storage....
You'll really going to have to make a start on this - and when you've got into it and have some more specific questions, then come back. Good Luck.

dpkg-preconfigure
DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
