Public bug reported:

ubuntu-standard have a hardcoded dependency on cron package. Instead it
should depend on systemd-cron to decrease learning curve for new users
and simplify system maintenance: it's much easier if periodic tasks are
administered the same way as all other tasks - via standard units.
People who need legacy software for some reason could easily install it
from the repository.

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
