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?
