yep, thats a small prob with anacron.....
ever had to do a important task and your laptop started running all the
anacron jobs directly after boot ? 

i had this case very often on my sid systems, lets see that ubuntu
solves this better than running updatedb on monday mornings if you have
a presentation at 8am with the laptop you didnt use on the weekend....
(my old sony laptop gets nearly unusable if all the cron tasks run)
probably running with a nice value should be proposed....

...otherwise, thumbs up

ciao
