Public bug reported:

default file says:

# This file has been deprecated. [...]

Although in the file /etc/cron.daily/standard:

# Don't continue if user wants to skip lost+found check
if [ -f /etc/default/cron ]; then
    . /etc/default/cron
    [ "$CHECK_LOSTFOUND" = "no" ] && exit 0
fi


I see 3 options:

1. Removing deprecated flag.
2. Removing lost+found check.
3. Putting this info to a different place.

I suggest option #2.
