Execute this command:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --local --add --rename --divert /etc/cron.daily/cfengine /etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun

This will move the cron file so that dpkg knows you did it. Also the '.'
in the new name will make run-parts not run it (norun :). To mave it back:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --remove /etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun

good luck,
  Ben
