Package: anacron
Version: 2.3-23
Severity: important

Installing the anacron package does not install /etc/cron.d/anacron
resulting in anacron only running at boot.

>From what I can see in the source package, debian/cron.d is present, but
I think it needs to be named anacron.cron.d for it to be installed by
dh_installcron()

I noticed that LogWatch would run when I rebooted my Jessie desktop
machine, but never otherwise (the machine hardly ever gets rebooted).

Manually creating /etc/cron.d/anacron by copying debian/cron.d results
in the expected behaviour of running the cron.daily scripts every day.

I can confirm what Boyuan says, at least for 2.3-28 (see below that my dpkg
thinks in a clean small sid chroot)

I'm closing this bug then. 
Please feel free to reopen it, if you can reproduce and provide more details.
