Hi!

The daily cron job does get executed out of the box with fcron,
contrary to the explanation given. fcron package (I have 3.0.1-1)
installs a systab entry in /var/spool/fcron which runs
`run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily` daily. Thus, the script shipped
by exim4-base is executed. So, a "cron | fcron" depends (I don't
know about bcron) should do.

Regards,
Ramkumar.
