Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-114
Severity: minor

Extract from /usr/share/doc/cron/changelog.Debian.gz:

  * debian/cron.pam:
    - In addition to the reading /etc/security/pam_env.conf and 
      /etc/environment (obsolete config file) previous default,
      cron will now also read /etc/default/locale in order to setup
      the proper localisation environment for tasks.

When you install automatically some workstations with the debootstrap command 
for example,
the cron package will be installed (Priority: important).
The locales package is not mandatory so the configuration file 
/etc/default/locale may miss,
and cron do not execute any script from now.

I suggest to replace in /etc/pam.d/cron:
session       required   pam_env.so envfile=/etc/default/locale
by:
session       optional   pam_env.so envfile=/etc/default/locale

Thanks.
