Title:
  changing to fcron removes ubuntu-desktop and autoremove wants to
  remove a lot of packages

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “fcron” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm using ubuntu to develop and host j2ee applications and i use a
  bunch of scripts to facilitate the hosting, deployment and backup part
  of this operation. But these scripts rely on fcron.

  In hoary, breezy and dapper it removes the ubuntu-desktop meta package
  when removing anacron when installing fcron. This also happens in
  edgy, but now every apt-get operation wants me to auto-remove every
  package that was installed to supply ubuntu-desktop. About the entire
  desktop environment etc.

  Maybe it's a good idea to use a cron metapackage so we can choose our
  own cron implementation without losing the entire desktop.
