We do re-exec systemd in postinst, but a versioned Breaks or Conflicts does not give you the guarantee that systemd.postinst has run before your postinst. This is not an issue for distros which do offline updates, but for online updates this is problematic. My advice would be, to only use features that systemd from stable provides.
