/etc/cron.daily/diffmon just contains:

#!/bin/sh

if [ -r /etc/diffmon/diffmon.cf ] && [ -x /usr/bin/diffmon ] ; then

diffmon -c diffmon.cf

fi

But diffmon should not run if a systemd timer is available
(though this is not currently the case due to bug 999702,
to be fixed first).

For instance, /etc/cron.daily/man-db has:

if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
    # Skip in favour of systemd timer.
    exit 0
fi

Similarly, /etc/cron.daily/plocate has:

# Skip if systemd timer is available.
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
    exit 0
fi
