[merge request] Please sync 'cron' from Debian main

[dino99]

xenial still have an outdated version; please sync it from:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/c/cron/cron_3.0pl1-128_changelog

cron (3.0pl1-128) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/cron.service: Use KillMode=process to kill only the daemon.
    The default of KillMode=control-group kills all the processes in the control group, for example when restarting the daemon. This is a deviation from past behavior we do not want. Thanks, Alexandre Detiste! Closes: #783683

See also bug 1527348 (restarting cron kills children on 16.04 - did not kill on 14.04) bug-status=yet unconfirmed

Would say, with best intentions this is a duplicate of bug 1527348.

[dino99 (9d9)]

The Debian report should be closed (as per its #52 post) but post #57 point some side effects (no more comments during the last 6 months)

Source: cron
Source-Version: 3.0pl1-127+deb8u1

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
cron, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

... so #1527348 seems useless now.

Since cron 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2 is available in Ubuntu 16.04, I believe this issue can be marked resolved.
