Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-94
Severity: wishlist

As a consequence of the attack vector used in the gluck compromise
(forcing a core dump into cron.d/, whose contained text sections
cron interprets) we should strive to make crontab parsing less
permissive for Etch, so that only regular plain text files are
parsed.

Cheers,
        Moritz
