Bug#856985: systemd: Uninstalling systemd-cron hangs/crashes systemd

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

The path activation is pulled-in like the rest by cron.target,
so stopping cron.target is enough to also stop cron-update.path .

Back then, this commit was enough to solve this bug in v1.5.2-1;
well maybe having a more recent debhelper/dh_systemd available helped too.
