Oh, a good idea. I don't have an MTA anymore, so now even I, the
author of installation-birthday, don't receive notifications anymore.

Not sure how it might work without cron — a question perhaps for
another bug entirely. But assuming that cron is at least installed,
would you think a notify-send notification with no expiry * would work?

That would at least mean that if it triggered at 3am or something
unholy, you might have a chance of seeing it in the morning.

 * Or perhaps an expiry of 24 hours.
