[Bug 428814] Re: Removal of the package does not remove the cron.daily script

[Mathias Gug]

The cron job should not be removed on package uninstallation, only on
package purge as outlined in the debian policy - section 9.5:

    All files installed in any of these directories must be scripts
(e.g., shell scripts or Perl scripts) so that they can easily be
modified by the local system administrator. In addition, they must be
treated as configuration files.

    [...]

    The scripts or crontab entries in these directories should check if
all necessary programs are installed before they try to execute them.
Otherwise, problems will arise when a package was removed but not purged
since configuration files are kept on the system in this situation.

amavisd-new cron job should make sure that all its relevant binaries are
available before running.

** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
