Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.3-1.1
Severity: wishlist

(Debian) Desktop computers are often off-state at sunday 6:47 am when 
cron.weekly executes popcon report. By default Debian doesn't install 
anacron which prevents many desktop computers from participation. If you 
want more information about desktop computers you should change the time 
popcon report runs.

This wishlist item applies to Debian Woody as well as Debian Sarge.
