Wait a minute. I got 2 things confused here: 1. Daily maintenance was and is at 6:42 (probably; I don't maintain the cron package). 2. Daily maintenance for *news* takes places at 3:08 AM because it doesn't run from /etc/cron.daily but has it's own crontab. So, nothing has changed AFAIK. Sorry for the confusion.
