bootstrap assumes that 'crontab' is installed on said server

When bootstrapping chef server with a fresh clean updated Jaunty image (with no cron installed, nor exim...) bootstrap fails

... either update install docs to tell us we need crontab, or we should make a crontab recipe to and make it a dependency?
