No, but presumably if it bothered you a lot, or if you thought it was
basic flaw in the packge (rather than just a personal preference),
you'd submit a bug or otherwise let me know. And I *have* made a lot of
changes to improve the flexibility the cron scripts (and checksecurity
in particular) over the last several years. I'm not the quickest
at getting them implemented, admittedly, but I don't reject every
suggestion out of hand.
