There might be two separate issues.

Does the Debian package override the default location of the pidfile?
Since 3.4 it should be in /var/run/chrony (or /run/chrony). When
chronyd dropped the root privileges, it couldn't remove a file in
/var/run (or /run). Previously the failure to remove the file
produced only a debug message. Now it's an error syslog message.
