Hi,

That's nucely written out, better than I could.

An extra bit of policy(*) I attempt to infuse with/for systemd-cron is this
one: the name of the crontab (here "apt-compat")
should match the name of the main timer (here "apt-daily", so not the case
yet) so that systemd-cron will ignore this one crontab and won't generate a
dynamic .timer + .service in /run for this package.

So my end goal for systemd-cron is that it would do nothing i.e. generate
no dynamic .timer / .service pair because all crontab would have a matching
static .timer shipped in the same package.

I understand it's a bit convulated to wrap it's mind around this one.

(*): not yet proposed for Policy, already talked about here:
