Thanks --- I think I'm getting closer, but not successful yet.  I
found a symlink from
/etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/anacron.timer to
/lib/systemd/system/anacron.timer, deleted it, copied the linked file
into the etc location, and edited the relevant-looking line as
follows:

#OnCalendar=*-*-* 07..23:30
OnCalendar=*-*-* 05..23:30

Then I used touch to set the timestamp on
/var/spool/anacron/cron.daily back a few hours.

And cron.daily got run at 07:30 again this morning.  Any more
suggestions?  I'd be grateful.
