Thank you. This was driving me nuts as I don't currently have access to
a Buster system with Anacron installed... But still there's also the
script that was posted here:

30 5-23 * * *   root  [ -x /etc/init.d/anacron ] && if [ ! -d
/run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null; fi

Which explicitly checks for systemd and doesn't do anything if
detected. Should give a hint on why modifying that script doesn't help
much, no?
