Comment (by thomas):

 I'd suggest to add the option `--with-crond-dir=no` to instructions to
 avoid a strange behavior while installing e2scrub_all.

 Looks like e2scrub_all gets installed in build/yes/ if leaving out that
 option (since the default is set to 'yes' in that case). The idea seems to
 be that the install should do
 {{{
 install e2scrub_all.cron /etc/cron.d/e2scrub_all
 }}}
 but it results in
 {{{
 install e2scrub_all.cron yes/e2scrub_all
 }}}

 Other option is to specify a full-qualified path like `--with-crond-
 dir=/etc/cron.d` which looks like that it should be the default if nothing
 is set. Unfortunatly due to the bug, install does use 'yes' literally if
 not set.
 We could also specify `--with-crond-dir=/usr/share/e2fsprogs` and later in
 BLFS when installing a cron, we could pull the file from that dir and
 place it in cron's directories.

 Btw, if interested in that issue, see
 http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2019-May/073106.html -
 and don't get confused with e2scr_all_cron and e2scrub_all.cron - thats
 two different things and the second one gets lost in space due to the
 bug...

 Issue is reported to Ted Tso, no answer yet.
