Yes, it's installed.

Indeed, it makes a difference.  With "pm-powersave $*" commented out I
get right after boot:

$ systemctl status anacron.service
anacron.service - Run anacron jobs
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/anacron.service; enabled)

Mar 16 21:13:15 flashgordon anacron[1413]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 5 min.
Mar 16 21:13:15 flashgordon anacron[1413]: Will run job `cron.monthly' in 15 min.
Mar 16 21:13:15 flashgordon anacron[1413]: Jobs will be executed sequentially

After 5 min the anacron jobs are run as expected and finish
successfully.  For completeness, I attach 'journalctl -b | grep anacron'.

Best regards,
