I spoke to the author of fcron and he is still developing it. If there
were problems would it not be wise to either try the newest version or
drop it from the universe repo all together since it is still there?

Actually, fcron was removed from Debian. See the bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636235

So this isn't a simple software upgrade as there were bugs that
weren't able to be fixed by the Debian maintainer. Upstream isn't
really actively developing it either.

Can I request that fcron is updated in the universe repo? The version
there is over 3 years old. The version listed on the fcron homepage
[0] is from April 5th of last year.
