Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.3.0
Severity: serious
On deinstallation (not purge) of cron-apt on an etch system,
/etc/cron.daily/cron-apt is left as a dangling symlink, which
breaks policy.
Please either remove the symlink on deinstallation and readd it on
reinstallation, or install a script instead which exits silently and
without error if the cron-apt binary is not present anymore.

Urks, this was silly of me: I deinstalled 0.3.0 before an etch
upgrade, which obviously meant that cron-apt did not get upgraded.
Also, trying to reproduce this upgrade problem, I find that 0.3.0
never installed the /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt symlink, no idea where
it came from.
The upgrade path from 0.3.0 to 0.4.* is clean, and 0.4.* deinstalls
fine. Sorry for the noise.
