Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.5.17-3
Severity: important
cron-failure@ is using DynamicUser=yes, however this causes a silent
delivery failure when using exim4:
systemd[1]: Starting cron-failure at cron-monthly.service...

systemd[1]: cron-failure at cron-monthly.service: Deactivated successfully.
systemd[1]: Finished cron-failure at cron-monthly.service.
Combined with #992649, this makes systemd-cron silently broken on a
debian configuration with the default mta.
