You know, with modern personal Linux systems like notebooks (that
absolutely must be turned off on airplanes, etc), it makes sense to
add a boot time script that checks various cron products and does them 
(in background and very niced) if they're old.  Or maybe one for each
variety of system cron.{daily,weekly,blue-moon}.

Debian (FWIW) does this if it doesn't find the relevant things.  You
could simply run everything in cron.daily at installatino whether the
user requests or not.  No big deal, I should think.
