Hi Daniel,

Thinking over this again, I'm curious as to why you think RT shouldn't
depend on cron (or most likely the virtual package cron-daemon). Part
of the functionality of RT won't work unless cron is installed. Wouldn't
it be less confusing for users to pull in cron? Since it's a
user-selectable feature, perhaps a Recommends would be strong enough.

Dominic.
