Package not compatible with old systemd

Hi,

my package src:swift is not compatible with old systemd, because I'm using CacheDirectory in unit file. CacheDirectory is supported from systemd 235.

I think correct solution is to add to binary package this relation:

Breaks: systemd (<< 235~)

Thomas Goirand (zigo) said it's wrong and correct solution is:

Depends: systemd (>= 235~) | sysv-init | openrc

I don't currently depend on systemd, or any other init system.

I think my solution is correct, because Swift works with any init system and I want to only say "it doesn't work with older systemd". I don't think it's correct to list all possible init systems in Depends.

Can you help us?

Thanks.

Best regards
