Ouch! Good spot.

invoke-rc.d --query cron start

This will return 104 if cron would be started in the current
runlevel, which means that the init.d script symlink exists for the
runlevel.

If it returns 101 or 106, then cron is disabled by policy (but the
init.d script exists).

If it returns 100, then the init.d script does not exist.

If it returns 105, then all bets are off.

man invoke-rc.d
