Was version with -cron subpackage on ftp?
no -> there is no problem  about that :)

After all - change proposed by glen would be great PITA too - after 
upgrade from package before split you'll get not working cron. Even after 
installing cron package (glen gave no triggers and that's why I've started 
talking to him about that :) ).

Besides - it sounds logical for me:
* -base (or basic) with pure application without any additions
* main package as full-set.

In other packages with -cron separated could be different situation. First 
from your list has 2 alternatives: init and cron. I don't know the rest.

IMvHO separating very basic package-set to -base package should be general 
rule. But - it's only IMO :D
