Package: xtide
Version: xtide_2.9.5-3
Severity: minor
/etc/cron.weekly/xtide claims to be useful only on oldoldoldstable
(or perhaps oldoldoldoldstable):
> #!/bin/sh
> # Rotate xtide's xttpd server file if logrotate is not used
>
> set -e
>
> # Only rotate if package is installed
> test -f /usr/sbin/xttpd || exit 0

> grep '^PORT' /etc/init.d/xttpd >/dev/null || exit 0
>
> # Only rotate if logrotate is not installed (Slink and perhaps potato)
> test ! -f /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0

In principle, however, I might indeed have xtide but not logrotate
installed on a Lenny system. So I'll leave it up to you whether
xtide should
a) drop this cronjob and assume that people who remove logrotate
understand the likely consequences, or
b) merely cut the reference to twentieth-century releases in the
comment line...
Either way, adding a "Suggests/Recommends: logrotate" wouldn't hurt.
