This dependency was introduced by util-linux, so I'm reassigning.
I also don't quite understand the alternative dependency on tzdata |
systemd-sysv. That's something Andreas most likely can answer.
That said, the dependency from util-linux on systemd-sysv is
unversioned, so I fail to see the problem? Care to elaborate.

Regards,
Michael
