Hi,

I came across this error while performing upgrade work on this package in Ubuntu. Sorry for the long delay in responding and thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

The scenario described by you is confirmed and the bug was reported also to Debian here [1], but it seems to be a decision of the maintainer not to remove the script on etc/cron.daily/ , leaving this task to the user as can be seen in the file NEWS.DEBIAN in the source package:

amavisd-new (1:2.7.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  /etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new moved to /etc/cron.d/amavisd-new. If
  you don't need the file /etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new anymore, please remove
  it.

This entry is missing in the binary package [2]. Therefore, please, follow the maintainer's recommendation to avoid unwanted messages.

For this reason, I'll mark this as "Opinion" and "WishList". If you or anyone consider this to have a major impact, I suggest you continue the discussion on Debian, so if there is a change of mind on this and a fix is released there, we can pick that fix to avoid increasing our Ubuntu delta.
