at least

* *     * * *   root    atrun -l 0.5 -d

instead of 

* *     * * *   root    atrun 0.5 -d

but this is in the at's postinst script and I don't know why it didn't 
work: 

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

open(OI,"$etc/crontab") || die "Opening $etc/crontab to deinstall atrun: 
$!\n";
@crontab=<OI>;
close(OI);
$newentry="* *\t* * *\troot\tatrun -d -l 0.5\n";

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's me, Manolo!
