config of cron package use by default /etc/crontab file:
25 6 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
47 6 * * 7 root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
52 6 1 * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly
unfortunately cron package not depend anacron package.
without install anacron, temporary files are not deleted,
and waste disk space.
proposed solution:
1. install anacron package
2. reedit /etc/crontab file to remove anacron package references.

Right. This is correct. Cron does not depend on anacron. *IF* anacron
is installed, it will run the the 'run-parts' commands. Otherwise, cron
rons them itself.
