Do what apt does; make the cron job exit successfully without doing
anything when run on systemd, move most of what is being run into a
script or program in /usr, then call that from the timer and cron job.
Alternatively, make the cron job exit successfully without doing
anything when run on systemd, then have the timer call the cron job
with a --run-on-systemd argument that makes it run under systemd.
These are still somewhat annoying in practice because of the log
entries for CRON running something pointlessly.
