d/cron.service: Use KillMode=process to kill only the daemon.
The default of KillMode=control-group kills all the processes in the control
group, for example when restarting the daemon. This is a deviation from past
behavior we do not want. Thanks, Alexandre Detiste! Closes: #783683

[ Release targeted to Wheezy including fixes for critical/important bugs ]
* debian/{preinst,postinst,postrm}: remove obsolete /etc/cron.daily/standard
  on upgrade. (Closes: #679062)
* debian/cron.init: Have the init.d file remove cron's pidfile if it
  exists after killing the process. The pidfile should be removed
  by cron itself (but it isn't) through its SIGhandler as done in later
  versions in cron (4.1 and cronie). This fix is, however, simpler and less
  intrusive. (Closes: 679106, 615855)
* debian/control:
     - Reword last paragraph since cron does not provide any standard tasks
       anymore. (Closes: 674192)
     - Update to Standards-Version: 3.9.3 - which BTW includes an indication
       on which are the valid cron filenames.
     - Depend on debhelper >= 9 (lintian warning)

* Upload with approval from Release Team to get RC bug fixes in Squeeze
  (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/12/msg00719.html)
* do_command.c, popen.c:
  - Use fork() instead of vfork().
* do_command.c:
  - Close an unused stream in the fork()ed child prior to exec'ing the
    user's command, thereby avoiding an fd leak. Closes: #604181, LP: #665912
    Previously to this, in conjunction with LVM, the fd leak may have the
    effect of the user being spammed by warnings every time a cron job was
    executed.
* crontab.5:
  - Fixed the example demonstrating how to run a job on a certain weekday of
    the month (date range was off-by-one). Also, the same example contained
    a superfluous escape, resulting in wrong output. Closes: #606325
* cron.init:
  - Added $named to Should-Start, in case @reboot jobs need DNS resolution.
    Closes: #602903
  - Added nslcd to Should-Start. LP: #27520

* Non-maintainer upload with permission.
* Fixes an uninitialised data problem in the SE Linux code, also fixes a
  similar compile warning in code which is not related to SE Linux which
  isn't a bug (to avoid confusion).
  Closes: #472938
* Updates the SE Linux patch to work with the new code base, the previous
  version was almost totally unusable with Lenny SE Linux.
  Closes: #499518
* Fixes inadequate security checks in the SE Linux code path, the previous
  code might be vulnerable to exploit at some future time.
  Closes: #499584
