Title:
  ubuntu-standard depends on cron

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
