Package: cron-daemon-common
Version: 3.0pl1-178
This package (among others, I just discovered) places configuration files in /usr/lib,
which is a place for "binary libraries", not configuration text files.
Configuration text files should be in /etc/, and non binary files in /usr/share/
Concerned files are :
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/cron-daemon-common.conf
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cron-daemon-common.conf
Thanks.

Dear Nathanael,
thank you for your bug report.
You discovered that some configuration files are under /usr/lib, instead
of being under /etc, which is not complying with the FHS, File Hierarchy
System.
However this is rather a feature than a bug, as it is the direct
consequence of Debhelper's ordinary process. If you consider cron's
source package, you will find the contents of
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/cron-daemon-common.conf in the file
debian/cron-daemon-common.sysusers ; a similar explanation applys to the
second configuration file.
Those files are put under /usr/lib/*.d by debhelper's scripts. I am
closing this bug report. You are free to open a similar bug report
against the package debhelper, if you consider that the case if worth
such an attention. However I fear that modifying debhelper's scripts is
not enough, since more than one programm is relying on such files being
under /usr/lib, particularly during the boot process.
Best regards, Georges.
