I don't think that the packages enable that task. It's probably
something they should do.

It runs everything through koha-foreach, which basically runs a command
multiple times with the environment set up for each instance.

I'd be inclined to create another file in cron.d/daily/hourly as
appropriate that's written in the same style as the others, just because
that'll make updates easier.
