Bug#825885: systemd-cron: document limitations in the package description

Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.5.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Please document the limitations compared to cron in the package
description. I tried systemd-cron today but quickly discovered that it
does not send mail on cron job success. I rely on that feature of cron
quite heavily. If I knew systemd-cron could not do it I would not have
wasted time installing systemd-cron.
