After considering your suggestions and checking Debian-patched cron
sources I decided that it looks like you are right, it is not worth
the effort.

Nevertheless I still don't like anacron, and I would prefer if fcron
could replace the standard Debian cron in a simple way.

I'm closing the hc-cron ITP, but I'm leaving the request to create
'cron-daemon' virtual package open (#252086). Maybe fcron maintainers
would like to carry on, so their package can be installed and cron
removed, what is now impossible without removing apache as well (for
example)...

Adam
