mrtg seems to be some sort of network traffic analyzer which generates
pretter graphs of how much traffic is going through your routers; it was
on the default install configuration which apparently does nothing
useful and drops its files into a black hole in /var/www where our
custom Apache wouldn't serve it if there was a reason to.

I disabled its cronjob.
