piuparts implements a check on {weekly, daily, monthly} cron files, though not
on /etc/cron.d/ last time I checked (I am checking again, will eventually open a
bug)
Though I from time to time run crontest from collab-qa and such bugs are tagged
cron-qa:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=cron-qa;users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org
most of the bugs got no response at all from maintainer and are almost a year
old, is it a NMU in order?
