The effects of anacron cannot be disabled

[Gordon Lack]

If anacron is installed its effects *cannot* be disabled.

You can run:
    systemctl disable anacron anacron.timer

but that will not help. That stops anacron running, but it does *not* prevent the run-parts entries in /etc/crontab from running, as they only check for the presence of /usr/sbin/anacron, *not* whether anacron is actually enabled.

The test should really be something like:
    systemctl -q is-enabled anacron

(although that still prints an error message if anacron isn't installed - despite the -q. Errors, even intended ones, seem to be unavoidable).

The result is that if you have a desktop system that is permanently on, you need to remove anacron - but the next dist-update will put it back in place.
