Silent failure of anacron on resume with systemd

Anacron fails silently on resume. It never runs the tasks its supposed
to run. My backups have been failing.

This is a a really annoying failure, and some features are being
implemented in systemd to fix this. See this debian
bugtracker
.

My solution for this is to simply have anacron be run every hour by
cron. I have in /etc/cron.d/anacron

# /etc/cron.d/anacron: crontab entries for the anacron package

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

30 *    * * *   root    test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null

which simply runs it every hour now. This is a little annoying, but it's
the best I can do. The debian bugtracker states that it's been fixed in
a future release of systemd. I don't really care because I'm using
Jessie. But Jessie is so old that apparently even critical bugs like
this don't get fixed.
