Hi,
A much improved version of systemd-cron is awaiting that some DD uploads it:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/systemd-cron.git
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/systemd-cron.git
You may then add this patch in attachment upon this git tree to enable
the crontab setuid helper that let non-root user to use crontab;
and then rebuild the package with "debuild -us -uc" in tree.
Or you may as well copy the crontab binary from the cron package
and chmod it 2755.
Cheers,
Alexandre Detiste
