>Why not migrate what needs to be migrated to native system timer formats

This would be the responsability of each individual package manager;
after some policy would have mandated it and it's too late before the release freeze.
Debian only ships exaclty one timer now: systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer 

This may evolve next year after Jessie is released.

I would then adapt systemd-cron not to process /etc/cron.d/$(package) 
if (/usr)/lib/systemd/system/$(package).timer exists . 

I'll asks what the others downstreams (Arch...) think of it;
if it might already be implented that way.
