*I* didn't create that entry. That's how it was on my system. I even ran
'dpkg-reconfigure cron' and 'dpkg-reconfigure anacron' and it didn't
change it. I just looked at a version of cron that's in my apt cache and
the cron.hourly line is removed...

Should I just add a line like 

59 * * * * root   test -e /etc/cron.hourly/update-dyndns

to /etc/crontab ??
