Additional I noted that the description of the tag has a bug: While https://lintian.debian.org/tags/skip-systemd-native-flag-missing-pre-depends?version=2.114.123 says the version must be "1.52" The code seems to check against 1.54~ const my $SYSTEMD_NATIVE_PREREQUISITES => 'init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~)';
