+Automated cron files tests
+==========================
+
+This test aims to identify those packages with cron files (/etc/cron.d*/) that
+output error messages while the package (or one of its dependencies) is not
+present.
+
+The log (<date>/<date>.log) format resembles the archive-rebuilds one with a few new tags:
+
+NO_SUCH_FILE: the output from the script is because of a missing file/directory
+CMD_NOT_FOUND: the script was unable to find a command
+CRON.{D,DAILY,MONTHLY,WEEKLY}: the script which caused the error
+REMOVE/AUTOREMOVE: which stage of removal caused the error
+UNKNOWN: reason not known or not parsable
