What about a kind of tag-oriented style of appending to /etc/crontab after
asking the admin:
ipac-install suggest to append an entry to /etc/crontab, which starts ipac
every 15 minutes:
[line to be inserted]
The lines will be enclosed by # -*- install: ipac -*-.
This way a remove script will be able to remove the lines which were
inserted by install.
