cron entries missing in /etc/init.d and /usr/sbin/cron (potato)

["justin cunningham" <jcunningham@engine8.com>]

What happened to cron?  None of the cron services are running.  Man cron
says do /etc/init.d/cron start but cron is only found in the following
files. Dpkg says cron isn't installed; I can grab it with apt but 1. why
is it missing 2. if the cron package wasn't installed why do I have cron
directories? 3. if it was removed; can anyone propose a good reason for
purging such a useful package?  thanks, justin
