make a puppet::cron::debian class that includes the override of the /etc/cron.d/puppetd.cron file resource and move the override from manifests/debian.pp.

/etc/cron.d/puppetd.cron is not a valid cronjob according to the run-parts system that Debian uses to decide what is valid, as a result if you were to 'include puppet::cron' in your manifests on a debian/debian-derived system, then a cronjob would be created that would never be executed.
