This implies anacron will become yet another base pacakge. It is
already seven disks. I am happy w/ letting people who want it,
install it. That makes more sense. Besides, do we really need
another "press enter" during install.
Let's stick w/ what works, then let the user customize.
I have around 10 Debian boxen, only one of them runs anacron.
