checksecurity
-------------
Checksecurity has been spinned of cron (that's why it Replaces/Depends on it)
however, old version of the cron package provided the checksecurity.conf
configuration file. Due to the way dpkg handles conffiles in this
cases 'checksecurity' will manage that conffile himself.
There are several reasons for this:
a) Dpkg gives bogus warnings:
If you have NOT changed the checksecurity.conf file
that was distributed with cron, but have an updated version in the
new checksecurity package, dpkg reports that the local file has been
modified by the user. That's bogus and confusing. The fact that the
tetex maintainer does it all the time does not make it acceptable.
b) Under some factors, the conffile might get "lost"
