Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-190
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The manpage includes the part
|cron is started automatically from /etc/init.d on entering multi-user
runlevels.
which is outdated in the default situation in Debian. cron will be directly
invoked by systemd.

Closes: 1071709 1079207 1085713 1086495 1101921
Changes:
cron (3.0pl1-195) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* declared sensible-editor as the command used by `crontab -e` in the
manpage crontab.1; Closes: #1079207
* now all manpages are created by xsltproc from XML source files.
I checked that '[g|n]roff -mandoc -t -ww -b -z -K utf8 cron.8'
report no longer any error. Closes: #1085713
* declared that cron is lauched by systemd. Closes: #1086495
* as the changes suggested by Paul Wise <[email protected]> about
bug report #956953 are now reveted, due to the lack of implementation
and test, errors which were reported about the version 3.0pl1-190
in experimental are cleared. Closes: #1071709
* checked that the line "33 22 * * * expr $(date +\%s) ..." is no
longer produced by the source file debian/crontab.5.xml; instead,
% characters are properly escaped in the examples:
$ man -l debian/crontab.5 | grep '\\%'
0 4 8-14 * * test $(date +\%u) -eq 6 && echo "2nd Saturday"
0 * * * * [ "$(date +\%R)" = 00:00 ] && run_some_script
0 4 * * Sat [ "$(date +\%e)" = "$(LANG=C ncal ...
So this Closes: #1101921
