Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-106 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch There's currently some dpkg-specific code in standard.cron.daily. I've filled a bug on dpkg[0] to request dpkg manages this itself and if the suggestion is accepted the code could be dropped from the cron package.
I'm marking this bug as blocked by the one on dpkg. Cheers [0] http://bugs.debian.org/541412 -- Leo "costela" Antunes [insert a witty retort here]
