Package: cron
Followup-For: Bug #707074

Hi,

I quickly looked a this bug and actually, as crontab executable is not
setuid root, we'll have to grant it the audit write capability[0] in the
postinst script.

Please not that the capabilities are not available on all the
achitectures and supported by all the filesystem, so it should be
wrapped around some other code.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
