On the man page
       /var/spool/anacron
              This directory is used by Anacron for storing timestamp files.

One notes that after a job is removed from anacrontab, its timestamp
stays there. One also worries what if one makes a new job with one of
these old names...

At least mention this on the man page if not fixing otherwise.
