Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
If I look at the Debian policy section 10.7 [1] it says:
"""
As noted elsewhere, /etc/init.d scripts, /etc/default files, scripts installed
in /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}, and cron configuration installed in
/etc/cron.d must be treated as configuration files. In general, any script that
embeds configuration information is de-facto a configuration file and should be
treated as such.
"""
Furthermore in 10.7.3:
"""
configuration files must be preserved when the package is removed, and only
deleted when the package is purged.
"""
So I believe this is intended behavior. Please correct me if I am wrong.
If you want the cron job to be removed, purge the package instead of
only uninstalling it.
