I need /usr/sbin/logcheck for the courier_ munin plugin so I emerged
app-admin/logcheck.  logcheck creates /etc/cron.hourly/logcheck.cron
which emails me hourly.  What is the Gentoo-friendly method for
disabling that?  I could delete the file or comment a key line but
maybe there's a more appropriate method?
