Yes, I still have a cron entry in /etc/rc<X>.d
But, as I said, I was going from an upgrade, not a bare install, so I imagine
my links were left over from prior to the upgrade. (I notice the postinst
script doesn't create them).

Here you go. Note that I haven't really fixed the underlying problem, I've
just altered the code so that it fixes my particular situation. My feeling is
that the (!need_to_copy) test should be (need_to_copy), but since I'm not very
intimate with the elm code, I can't be sure. Therefore, I've simply commented
out the test, so that the file perms are restored every time.
