I've taken another look at it, what I thought was a version  
incompatibility is actually a typo. I was trying to get "@restart" to  
work and it should have been "@reboot" (it is correct in 1run.sh).

On my box, the service user can use cron (as the user was created via  
the rpm), and "@reboot" works too.

The wget is unneccesary except that the installer places sha1test.jar  
in "bin/" when the update.sh expects it to be in "."; so I expect all  
freenet installations to have redundant sha1test.jar files.
