Yeah, my plan is to just not package cron bits at all since openSUSE / SLES support only systemd init anyway these days (and in fact our distro people want to deprecate cron in favor of systemd). I guess I'll split off the scrub bits into a separate sub-package (likely e2fsprogs will suggest installation of this sub-package) and the service will be disabled by default.
