Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-120
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,
translating the package description I wondered whether the last
paragraph could be improved. I'm afraid that it is not just the last
paragraph
Description: process scheduling daemon
The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular
programs at
particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
.
Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
(or to the user in question); you should probably install a mail system
as well so that you can receive these messages.
.
This cron package is configured by default to do some basic daily
system
maintenance tasks. Other packages, such as checksecurity, can provide
further maintenance tasks.
I'm afraid a newbie does not know what a crontab is. So it should be
explained or skipped.
I would appreciate considering my suggestion:
Description: process scheduling daemon

This cron package is pre-configured to do some basic daily system
maintenance tasks. Other packages, such as checksecurity, help with
further maintenance tasks.
Kind regards

Description:
cron - process scheduling daemon
Closes: 615855 674192 679062 679106
Changes:
cron (3.0pl1-124) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ Release targeted to Wheezy including fixes for critical/important bugs ]
* debian/{preinst,postinst,postrm}: remove obsolete /etc/cron.daily/standard
on upgrade. (Closes: #679062)
* debian/cron.init: Have the init.d file remove cron's pidfile if it
exists after killing the process. The pidfile should be removed
by cron itself (but it isn't) through its SIGhandler as done in later
versions in cron (4.1 and cronie). This fix is, however, simpler and less
intrusive. (Closes: 679106, 615855)
* debian/control:
- Reword last paragraph since cron does not provide any standard tasks
anymore. (Closes: 674192)
- Update to Standards-Version: 3.9.3 - which BTW includes an indication
on which are the valid cron filenames.
- Depend on debhelper >= 9 (lintian warning)
