This is an ongoing discussion on -devel. One suggestion which I made based on some other people's ideas was for anacron to use dpkg-divert to divert cron's crontab and to replace it with its own. I'm not sure how that sounds, though. I prefer your suggestion of having 4 lines in crontab: three for cron.{daily,...} which only run in the absence of anacron, and the fourth to run anacron if it is present.
