Clarification in LSB Spec chapter 17 (cron)[repost with patch]



There is a contradiction in the cron chapter:
 
 ------------ snip  --------

 If a package wants to install a job that has to be executed via cron,
 it shall place a file with the name if the package in one of the
 following directories:
 
             /etc/cron.hourly     -------------!!!!!!---------
             /etc/cron.daily
             /etc/cron.weekly
             /etc/cron.monthly
 
 As these directory names say, the files within them are executed on a
 daily, weekly, or monthly basis, respectively.
 
 If a certain job has to be executed more frequently than `daily,' the
 
   !! hourly is more often then daily  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 package shall install a file /etc/cron.d/<package-name> tagged as
 configuration file. 
 -------- snip---------------------------------
 I think it should be "more frequently than `hourly'
