Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
The defaults for cron are listed in /etc/default/cron. If I uncomment EXTRA_OPTS=" -L 2" in order to add additional logging to cron nothing happens when the process is restarted using service cron restart or service cron stop/start.
This occurs because the upstart command for cron exec's cron with no input from the default file.
Other services controlled by upstart may have the same issue.
If the defaults need to occur elsewhere then could the documentation be updated or a README in /etc/default be created with the correct process?

Hi terry, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.
I would agree that to cleanly support upgrades from older versions of Ubuntu, these default files should continue to be sourced and utilized.
