Description : A cron daemon for home computers
It runs specified jobs at periodic intervals and will remember the
time when it was shut down and catch up jobs that have occurred
during down time when it is started again. Hc-cron is based on the
widely used vixie-cron and uses the same crontab format so that it
can be used as a drop-in replacement for that program.

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)...
Regards
Adam
