I've noted that when using dselect to install and uninstall various software packages (mostly in slink, but in potato systems too) that even after asking dpkg to "purge" the configuration files of a particular program, many times the cron entries for those programs are left behind.
This, of course, causes the sysadmin to receive regular e-mail messages with cron errors in them. Are these just oversights on the package maintainer's part, or is there a good reason they're left behind after being installed. I usually go in and clean them up myself, but should I be logging what packages do this and letting the maintainers know through the bug tracking system?
