Package: munin
Version: 2.0.73-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If munin is installed in a minimal Debian bookworm container (e.g. with 
"mmdebstrap --variant=minbase") that does not have a cron installed, 
then it never runs.

Before systemd I would have perhaps asked that cron be added as an 
explicit dependency. However, given that systemd is now a default 
package then I guess systemd timers and services would be more 
appropriate to include and enable (and start?).

As a starting point, the following config files have at least begun 
populating /var/lib/munin with rrd files for me.

    mark@mon:/etc/systemd/system$ cat munin-update.timer
        [Unit]
        Description=Munin Update

        [Timer]
        OnCalendar=*-*-* *:0/5
        Persistent=true

        [Install]
        WantedBy=timers.target

    mark@mon:/etc/systemd/system$ cat munin-update.service
        [Unit]
        Description=Munin Update

        [Service]
        User=munin
        ExecStart=/usr/bin/munin-cron

Regards,
Mark
