After investigating, it looks like start-stop-daemon was used over su
to avoid a syslog message from being written.
As there is still #376165 and it is unlikely to have this fixed for
etch, I'd like to locall work around this issue. Is there any way to
programmatically find out whether libpam-tmpdir is in use to have the
cron job fall back to su in this case?
