Under what circumstances are you seeing this problem? Is it a regular occurrence for you due to something like comment #34 (booting just before 7:30 every day), or an issue with a previous instance of anacron being hung?

I don't think that we want to "solve" this by suppressing the mails from anacron. anacron itself should be made more resilient to hung jobs, and we should fix the bugs currently causing the apt cron job to hang. If we address both of these points, the symptom of receiving mails about already-running anacron jobs should solve itself.
