Qa's crontab on merkel

[Igor Genibel]

I just modified the qa's crontab on merkel in order to try to fix the 
desynchronization between ftp.root updates and the several scripts that
use the ftp mirror

I didn't check in the modification because I want to see if the problem 
persists or not.

Here is the diff between the "normal" qa's crontab and the modified one:

I did several "stat" command on several Sources.gz Package.gz that reveal 
that the archvsync process, that mirrors the ftp.d.o, ends 
approximatively around 17h (merkel timezone) while the ftp-update qa's 
process was run at 15h10. This introduce desynchronization.

In the case that th modification fixes the problem let me know if there 
are other qa's process (ran in qa's crontab) to be run later.

Cheers.
