Wouldn't this do the trick?

59      1       *       *       1-5     root    periodic daily
59      1       *       *       6       root    periodic daily weekly

That way weekly would start immediately after daily on saturdays.

Ideally, something similar should be done for monthly, but that'd be
slightly harder. We could use a wrapper for periodic(8) that checks
what jobs need to be run and invokes periodic(8) with the right
parameters.
