Bug#1081934: override: cron:admin/optional

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: ***@packages.debian.org
Usertags: override
X-Debbugs-Cc: ***@packages.debian.org, debian-***@lists.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:cron

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

cron is still at Priority:important even though Lintian has long warned that packages should migrate to systemd timers before the next Debian release.

I therefore propose downgrading cron to Priority:optional and updating the override to match.

Exception: the Hurd port doesn't have systemd and still depends on traditional cron jobs. cron should therefore remain at Priority:important, but on Hurd only.

Best Regards,
Martin-Éric

I'm not seeing any research showing that that happened

 so that looks premature?

Cc-ing debian-hurd@ for that part.
