Bug#752376: systemd-cron: does not meet requirements for cron-daemon

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.1.1-1

The cron-daemon virtual package is defined as
+---
|  cron-daemon             Any cron daemon that correctly follows policy
|                          requirements
+---[ file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/virtual-package-names-list.txt.gz ]

The policy requirements are documented in 9.5 and also include
+---
| Any cron daemon must provide /usr/bin/crontab and support normal
| crontab entries as specified in POSIX. The daemon must also support
| names for days and months, ranges, and step values. It has to support
| /etc/crontab, and correctly execute the scripts in /etc/cron.d.
+---[ https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-cron-jobs ]

According to the package description, systemd-cron does not fulfill
these requirement and thus should not have Provides: cron-daemon.

I think it provides similar features as "anacron". So maybe it should
have a Provides: anacron instead?
