https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/missing-systemd-timer-for-cron-script https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1007257 Ideally, popularity-contest would ship both a cron job and a systemd timer, drop the recommends on cron|cron-daemon and presume that the host comes with some task scheduler that can leverage either one.
