This is fixed in Debian with the following change:
cron (3.0pl1-128) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/cron.service: Use KillMode=process to kill only the daemon.
The default of KillMode=control-group kills all the processes in the
control group, for example when restarting the daemon. This is a deviation from
past behavior we do not want. Thanks, Alexandre Detiste! Closes: #783683
