That's true but the other script (run-crons) is definetely needed
since this is the one responsible for calling the hourly, daily
and weekly cron scripts (in /etc/cron.xxx) at appropriate times:

You can at least get rid of the messages in the syslog
by putting a "-" in front of the /etc/crontab entry for
that script:

-*/15 * * * * 	root	test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons
