You'll have to check the timeframe of when these changes happened with 
respect to Debian 8, but a Debian 9 system does not use cron to run 
anacron and various other things like phpsessionclean, nor use anacron 
itself to run various further things.  You'll find [ ! -d 
/run/systemd/system ] in various places in Debian Linux nowadays that 
turns stuff off when systemd is running, as well as reliance on the fact 
that systemd ignores non-native stuff if it has native stuff of the same 
name (such as anacron.timer).

* https://sources.debian.org/src/man-db/2.8.3-2/debian/cron.daily/

Moreover, you will find the similar [ -x /usr/sbin/anacron ] in various 
places to control what happens when anacron is not installed.

So bear in mind that your learned ideas about what runs what are no 
longer true.
