2002

anacron (2.3-7) unstable; urgency=high

   * forgive the delay all, life has been hectic
   * urgency is high because anacron no longer works if on_ac_power is missing.

     I did not believe was going into Woody.
   * fixed the init.d script so it works if on_ac_power is not installed,
     Closes: #140911 (and a few more via merge)
   * postrm deletes /var/spool/anacron, Closes: #102638
