+Description: cron-like program that doesn't go by time
+ Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler.  It
+ executes commands at intervals specified in days.  Unlike cron, it
+ does not assume that the system is running continuously.  It can
+ therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and
+ monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that
+ don't run 24 hours a day.  When installed and configured properly,
+ Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified
+ intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits.
+ .
+ This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian 
+ system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on
+ 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages
+ are executed each day.

+anacron for DEBIAN
+----------------------
+
+Anacron runs transparently to the system.  In other words, you should never be
+aware that anacron and not cron is actually running cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}.
+
+Anacron itself however is not a daemon, so it will either be called at startup,
+on APM power status change, or by cron. Disabling those will result in some
+jobs not being executed on time.
+
+Anacron leaves messages in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages by default.
