Getting a little bit off topic, is there a way for a package to depend
on the /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,etc} files being executed, but not
depend on the actual full crontab implementation?
This would allow for a more minimal cron daemon on certain setups (or
no cron daemon, plus the systemd glue that has appeared,
systemd-cron).
