Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

The defaults for cron are listed in /etc/default/cron. If I uncomment
EXTRA_OPTS=" -L 2" in order to add additional logging to cron nothing
happens when the process is restarted using service cron restart or
service cron stop/start.

This occurs because the upstart command for cron exec's cron with no
input from the default file.

Other services controlled by upstart may have the same issue.

If the defaults need to occur elsewhere then could the documentation be
updated or a README in /etc/default be created with the correct process?
