Bug Description
[Test Case]
1. apt-get install cron
2. look at content of /etc/default/cron. If it is not a 3 line message about being deprecated, modify it and save it.
3. Install updated cron package. Should be prompted showing the diff that adds the 3 line deprecation message.
[Regression Potential]
There is no regression potential. The file is not being used at all, so changing it is really just to help document the changed behavior for upgrades.
====== original bug ========
Binary package hint: cron
cron ignores /etc/default/cron (which is part of the cron package). The cause is that the new /etc/init/cron.conf doesn't read it.
