What if they were installed into
/usr/lib/MailScanner/cron/{hourly,daily} and then you just make a
symlink from them into /etc/cron.{hourly,daily} when you are ready to
have them startup.  This way they are always installed but it is upto
the user to make sure they are used.  We could provide a script that
does the symlinking and tell the user to run it after they are done
configuring their upgraded MailScanner install.
