Package: fcron
Version: 2.9.5.1-1
Severity: important

After installing fcron following can be found in logs:

 Mar 28 11:37:02 leafycape useradd[5516]: new user: name=fcron, uid=112, 
gid=112, home=/var/spool/fcron, shell=/bin/false
 Mar 28 11:37:03 leafycape fcrontab[5531]: Conf file (/etc/fcron.conf) must be 
owned by root:fcron and (no more than) 644 : ignored
 Mar 28 11:37:03 leafycape fcrontab[5531]: reinstalling systab's fcrontab
 Mar 28 11:37:03 leafycape fcrontab[5531]: installing file /tmp/fcr-IRmVlA for 
user systab
 Mar 28 11:37:04 leafycape fcronsighup[5533]: Conf file (/etc/fcron.conf) must 
be owned by root:fcron and (no more than) 644 : ignored
 Mar 28 11:37:05 leafycape fcron[5554]: fcron[5554] 2.9.5.1 started
 Mar 28 11:37:05 leafycape fcron[5554]: updating configuration from 
/var/spool/fcron
 Mar 28 11:37:05 leafycape fcron[5554]: removing file systab
 Mar 28 11:37:05 leafycape fcron[5554]: adding new file systab

And fcron seems unusable to me (does not execute cron.(daily|weekly|monthly). 
chmod 644 /etc/fcron.conf seems to fix the situation.
