Package: dcron

Hello, dcron's service file probably needs the "KillMode=process" option to avoid bringing down all cron jobs processes, even daemonized ones. Traditionally stoping the cron daemon only affected its children processes. Many cron jobs expect such legacy behaviour.

For more info see problem description at [1], thanks to Gaetan Bisson for giving me the solution!
