Bug Description
default file says:
# This file has been deprecated. [...]
Although in the file /etc/cron.
# 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.
