Public bug reported:

The `certbot` package comes with `/etc/cron.d/certbot` which contains a
cron job that executes twice per day if `/usr/bin/certbot` is
executable. There is no way to disable the cron job other than removing
the executable bit from the binary.

I have my own, separate cron job configured for using certbot to renew
our certificate. My cron job is in `/etc/cron.daily`, and there is
necessary logic in it that the job in `/etc/cron.d/certbot` doesn't
have.

It should be possible to set a variable in `/etc/default/certbot` or
something to prevent the cron job in `/etc/cron.d/certbot` from running.

** Affects: python-certbot (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Project changed: manila => python-certbot (Ubuntu)
