Restore libaudit-dev build-dep now that it has been promoted to main.

41. By Clint Byrum on 2012-11-07

* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Changes:
  - Drop build-dependency on libaudit, not in main and the security
    team doesn't want it there.
  - debian/control:
    + Move MTA to Suggests field.
  - debian/cron.upstart: Add Upstart script.
  - debian/rules: Call dh_installinit to install Upstart job properly.
  - d/cron.default: change to a deprecated message to make it clear
    that the file is no longer in use.
* Dropped changes:
  - debian/rules: add support for cross-compiling. (Applied in Debian)
  - Requires debhelper >= 7.3.15ubuntu2 (for Upstart). (Debian req's >= 9)

  - debian/control:
    + Move MTA to Suggests field.
  - debian/cron.upstart: Add Upstart script.
  - debian/rules: Call dh_installinit to install Upstart job properly.
  - d/cron.default: change to a deprecated message to make it clear
    that the file is no longer in use.
* Dropped changes:
  - debian/rules: add support for cross-compiling. (Applied in Debian)
  - Requires debhelper >= 7.3.15ubuntu2 (for Upstart). (Debian req's >= 9)
* debian/{preinst,postinst,postrm}: remove obsolete /etc/cron.daily/standard
  on upgrade. (Closes: #679062)
* debian/cron.init: Have the init.d file remove cron's pidfile if it
  exists after killing the process. The pidfile should be removed
  by cron itself (but it isn't) through its SIGhandler as done in later
  versions in cron (4.1 and cronie). This fix is, however, simpler and less
  intrusive. (Closes: 679106, 615855)
* debian/control:
     - Reword last paragraph since cron does not provide any standard tasks
       anymore. (Closes: 674192)
     - Update to Standards-Version: 3.9.3 - which BTW includes an indication
       on which are the valid cron filenames.
     - Depend on debhelper >= 9 (lintian warning)
* debian/standard.daily: Apply patch from Steve Allison to prevent checking
   two times the same filesystem. This prevents bogus warnings about missing
   lost+found in schroot bind mounts (Closes: #660879)
* debian/rules: Apply patch from Steve Langasek to add cross compiler
  support to cron (Closes: #666892)
* debian/cron.default, debian/standard.daily, debian/rules: Remove
  the lost+found check as this is no longer required and causes
  issues with some filesystems (e.g. bind mounts, locally mounted USB
  drives). Additionally, in some filesystems the directory
  will be generated when required. (Closes: #620164, #658743, #662605,
  #660879, #579640, #473711)
   - Only go ahead when configuring the package (Closes: #653304, #657073)
    debian-release) (Closes: 333837)

  - debian/rules: add support for cross-compiling.
  - Drop build-dependency on libaudit, not in main and the security team
    doesn't want it there.
  - debian/control:
    + Requires debhelper >= 7.3.15ubuntu2 (for Upstart).
    + Move MTA to Suggests field.
  - debian/cron.upstart: Add Upstart script.
  - debian/rules: Call dh_installinit to install Upstart job properly.
* debian/control:
  - Put the maintainer address in UTF-8 encoding
* debian/postinst:
   - Only go ahead when configuring the package (Closes: #653304)
* debian/source/lintian-overrides:
  - Removed, no longer required
* crontab.5:
  - Escape the '%' in the examples so that they can work when copied over to
    crontab (Closes: #642309)
  - Remove tabs from manpage since they are not formatted properly in the
    nonfill area
* cron.8, crontab.1, crontab.5:
  - Fix formatting errors in manual pages with patch provided by David
    Prévot (Closes: #643603)
* debian/cron.default:
  - Fix typo (Closes: #643897)
* debian/compat:
  - Set to compatibility version 9 to enable hardened build flags
    (Closes: #653720)
* do_command.c, cron.h, cron.8:
  - Change the behaviour when logging the information of the child processes.
    A new loglevel (8) is introduced and documented in cron.8. The previous
    log format is kept unless the sysadmin choses to select this new option.
    (Closes: #637295)
* debian/examples/cron-stats.pl:
  - Adjust the script with the changes introduced in the logging behaviour.
  - Report properly on the EDITOR variable. Thanks to Jan Braun for the
    report.
  - Also report the contents of /etc/cron.* dirs. This is helpful when
    debugging syntax/mode/naming errors. Users that do not want to share this
    information should edit/delete before reporting bugs.
* debian/control:
  - Update package description, removing the "backup of key system files" as
    a feature. The last of these responsibilities were transffered in -117.
  - Document limitations of the periods that can be defined in crontab syntax
    and provide workarounds (Closes: #640086)
  - Document limitation of the use of @reboot due to the definition of the
    boot sequence as suggested by Regid Ichira.
* debian/source/lintian-overrides:
  - Add overrides file for lintian required because the maintainer name in
    debian/changelog and in debian/control do not match due to encoding.
* debian/NEWS:
  - Remove spurious NEWS entry (the entry for -110 was duplicated at the
    bottom)
