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 nog every apt-get operation shows me 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.
