Vladimir, please could you take a look at the autopkgtest failures against cron listed at https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#cron? Please let me know if you need any help.

This bug was fixed in the package cron - 3.0pl1-163ubuntu1

---------------
cron (3.0pl1-163ubuntu1) mantic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2028894). Remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Move MTA to Suggests field.
    - debian/cron.default: change to a deprecated message to make it clear
      that the file is no longer in use.
    - d/p/f/inherit-path.patch: Add -P option to inherit PATH from environment,
      thanks to Tom Jones for the patch
    - Inherit PATH by default:
      + debian/crontab.main: Stop setting PATH
      + debian/cron.service, debian/cron.init: Pass -P to cron
    - debian/tests/compare-with-old-cron-files: Compare against cron package
      shipped in Ubuntu Jammy instead of that shipped in Debian Bullseye

cron (3.0pl1-163) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Checked that the patch debian/patches/fixes/crontab_5_manpage.patch
    confirms that all features about @reboot were removed. Closes: #779845;
    checked that crontab(5) manual page is no longer outdated as
    Tobias Köck used to notice it. Closes: #1037442
  * adopted Daniel Lewart's patch (thanks!), which improves debian patch
    No-multiple-timezones.patch. Closes: #1025536
  * modified debian/cron.postinst in a way which allows script lines added
    by debhelper to be considered. Closes: #1038938
