I guess we should, yes. All the relevant bits regarding kmod landed in
systemd/udev 208-8, so we could make systemd Depends: udev (>= 208-8).

We already have a Breaks: systemd (<< 208) in udev to avoid a partial
upgrade in the other direction.


An alternative would be, to have systemd depend on udev which is
strictly versioned like Depends: udev (= ${binary:Version}) or
udev (>= ${source:Version}).
Sometimes it's quite helpful though, being able to test combinations of
udev and systemd with different versions. So not having it strictly
versioned could be useful for debugging.

Marco, any preference?
