here is a simple patch to replace /etc/crontab by /etc/cron.d/.

FWIW why?

I find it far easier to have multiples crontab files in /etc/cron.d/ than keeping a single crontab.

At works, we are heavily using crontabs, and when we update our own apps on the servers, I need to check the changes needed for the app in the crontab. With a /etc/cron.d/my_app_1 file, I would just replace it with the new one, or I can even let the developers update their cron file, but I won't let them mess the global crontab (root or user).

Of course, I can manage the crontab by hand because I don't modify it very often, but I find the cron.d easier.
