At first glance, it looks good.

The init/service script must be done using the rules for perp[1].

[1] http://b0llix.net/perp/

Other details about the recipe/package are:

- Don't use my name for the recipe.  You are the author of the recipe,
  use Copyright year/name/email.

- The 'install' command is valid, but this is a non-standard command.
  We prefer, here in Dragora v3 (especially) to match commands and
  options belonging to the POSIX standard.

- Are you sure that the CRONTAB group must be part of the "users"
  group?.

- Question, the installation (result) includes the "run-parts"
  script?.


Thanks,
Matías
