Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.84-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This has already been discussed a while ago here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733929 .

At this time, the request had been rejected:

> (cron and systemd-cron), and that the latter does not correctly ....

The situation has since evolved: bcron-run is now registered a third
possible cron-daemon and systemd-cron has been fixed upstream to follow policy;
it can now also parse all crontabs provided by individual packages in /etc/cron.d/ .
( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752376 ).

Can you please reconsider depending on "cron | cron-daemon | anacron (| fcron)".
