So you've removed /etc/{daily,weekly,monthly} from the cron jobs and
written your own script to run them and handle the output?  Then have
your scripts handle the stderr, for example

/etc/daily  2>&1 | gpg -seat

Other people may have thieir own scripts that depend on stdout and
stderr being different streams
