However, the best thing to do would be for cfengine to run without
error straight from the package.  Even if cfengine doesn't do
anything, it shouldn't look ugly.

 Execute this command:

Good point, since I'm a new maintainer for it, and actually never
installed it with out configuring it, I never noticed. I'll fix it, maybe
it will get into slink.

Execute this command:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --local --add --rename --divert /etc/cron.daily/cfengine 
/etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun

This will move the cron file so that dpkg knows you did it. Also the '.'
in the new name will make run-parts not run it (norun :). To mave it back:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --remove /etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun

good luck,
  Ben
