Bug#674192: Please reconsider package description

[Martin Eberhard Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>]

Package:  cron
Version: 3.0pl1-120
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainers,
translating the package description I wondered whether the last 
paragraph could be improved. I'm afraid that it is not just the last 
paragraph


   Description: process scheduling daemon
    The cron daemon is a background process that runs particular 
programs at
    particular times (for example, every minute, day, week, or month), as
    specified in a crontab. By default, users may also create crontabs of
    their own so that processes are run on their behalf.
    .
    Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
    (or to the user in question); you should probably install a mail system
    as well so that you can receive these messages.
    .
    This cron package is configured by default to do some basic daily 
system
    maintenance tasks. Other packages, such as checksecurity, can provide
    further maintenance tasks.


I'm afraid a newbie does not know what a crontab is. So it should be
explained or skipped.

I would appreciate considering my suggestion:

    processes to be run on their behalf.

    Output from the commands is usually mailed to the system administrator
    (or to the user in question). You should install a mail system as well
    in order to receive these messages.
    .
    This cron package is pre-configured to do some basic daily system
    maintenance tasks. Other packages, such as checksecurity, help with
    further maintenance tasks.


Kind regards
