Mine are. Thanks for editing my quote that clearly stated when the issue
popped up and when it was fixed. Classy.

And yet that wasn't the point of that experiment. It was to prove that the
cron jobs do not exist in the packaging. Since you didn't believe me when I
told you that I thought I'd show you.

That's how it works for most things, but we are talking about things in
/etc/. Things in that directory don't get removed usually unless a purge is
done on the package. Things in that directory are handled differently that
other files on the system. For instance, had you edited the file would you
really want some package to remove it upon upgrade?
Clearly those cron jobs should not be there so I will remove them.

We've talked about it. The issue is how we should handle this to adhere to
proper Ubuntu packaging policy. It was a short window where the issue popped
up before it was fixed and having the files there do not hurt anything. If I
see a large number of people reporting this issue I might think of doing
that, but until then we'll probably just leave it.

Who's mythtv-{front,back}end are 2:0.24.1+fixes.20110531.3657f31? I
clearly demonstrated above that mine are currently
2:0.24.1+fixes.20110625.30993d6-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3.

I don't need to. I have them already since I have them installed.

That's just stupid behavior on dpkg's part. Seriously. If a package
includes a file in a given release and the file is removed from the
package in a subsequent release, the file should be removed when the
subsequent package is installed.
Clearly those cron jobs should not be there so I will remove them.
Given that dpkg is clearly broken in this regard, why not have removing
those jobs in the postinstall script of subsequent packages so that
everyone does not fall into this trap?
