Looks like it does:
Code:
root@kali:~# service cron status

   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cron.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

It does what I expected. The directory /run/systemd/system exists and hence:


Code:
root@kali:/etc/cron.daily# bash -x logrotate
+ '[' -d /run/systemd/system ']'
+ exit 0


I run another Debian based distribution (Raspbian) on a Raspberry Pi. That one has a shorter version of /etc/cron.daily/logrotate. It doesn't test for existence of /run/systemd/system. No problems over there:

(transcribed by hand):
Code:
#!/bin/sh


test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf

       munin-cron - A program to batch other Munin master programs

SYNOPSIS

       munin-cron [--options]

DESCRIPTION

       Munin-cron is a part of the package Munin, which is used in combination with Munin's node.  Munin is a group of programs to gather data
       from Munin's nodes, graph them, create html-pages, and optionally warn Nagios about any off-limit values.

       Munin-cron batches all the above tasks by running their respective programs. All parameters are passed directly to the underlying programs,
       so only use parameters that are understood by all the other programs.
