[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#607209: /etc/cron.d/request-tracker3.8 config file doesn't work at all

[Max Kosmach]

Package: request-tracker3.8
Version: 3.8.8-6
Severity: important

After installing new package version I see /etc/cron.d/request-tracker.38 file with some scheduled scripts.
But this scripts doesn't run because cron doesn't line files with dot in name in /etc/cron.d/
If I rename /etc/cron.d/request-tracker3.8 to /etc/cron.d/rt38 all scrips work as expected.



-- Package-specific info:
Changed files:

There are locally modified files in /usr/local/share/request-tracker3.8/,
