Firstly, it is necessary for all cron jobs, not just ones considered `important', to have a corresponding timer unit, for this change to be correct. Secondly, this change simply breaks systems without systemd. If (which I deny) it is a good idea to change this for systemd systems, measures should be taken to arrange that non-systemd systems still get anacron. For example, a dependency on systemd-sysv | anacron (Thirdly, and tangentially, for reasons explored further in the debian-devel thread, systemd timer units are not a suitable replacement for many applications.) Also I think that when changes are being made which might break non-systemd systems, the Debian Ecosystem Init Diversity team debian-init-divers...@chiark.greenend.org.uk should be consulted so that the appropriate fixes can be developed. Finally, this change is rather late wrt the freeze. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
