Hello Martin,

He already told me explicitely that I could handle the upload by myself:

He wasn't ok with the optional crontab setgid helper;
this can be enabled in a later upload (*);
this uploads already fixes ~10 bugs and enable further
migration to Python3-only setup, so I wouldn't delay it more.

(*) or vixie-cron can be splitted in "cron" + "crontab" packages.


>    Do you intend to take over maintenance?
Well, I've already taken over de-facto since september and upstream too;
where original generator author is now working on a Rust re-write.
So yes.

Ok, done; I trusted lintian too much here. ;-)

It's fixed now, you can upload it; of courses you can push
to Alioth any extra tweaks you deem usefull.

Thanks,

Alexandre Detiste
