Bug#554006: lintian: Warn if package ships files in /etc/cron.* without depending on cron

I don't think lintian should warn about this, for two reasons: - It's possible to have an *optional* cron script, not required for package functionality, which might warrant at most a `Suggests`. - If a script ships both a cron script and a systemd .timer file, it need not depend on cron.
