In my opinion this is a break of functionality.
A lot of people are custom with tweaking the configrations in /etc/default and
will be wondering why things are breaking after migration of there servers to
10.04.
In /etc/default/cron was also the parsing of the system environment tweaked.
The following functionality from cron.init is also missing in cron.upstart
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Read the system's locale and set cron's locale. This locale
# will be inherited by cron (used to set charset of emails)
# and tasks running under it.
parse_environment ()
{
ENV_FILE="none"
[ -r /etc/environment ] && ENV_FILE="/etc/environment"
[ -r /etc/default/locale ] && ENV_FILE="/etc/default/locale"
[ $ENV_FILE = none ] && return
for var in LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE; do
value=$(egrep "^[^#]*${var}=" $ENV_FILE | tail -n1 | cut -d= -f2)
eval $var=$value
done
}
# Parse the system's environment
if [ "$READ_ENV" = "yes" ] ; then
export LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE
parse_environment
fi
