Hm, we do have systemd -> systemd-timesyncd | time-daemon and
                systemd-timesyncd -> systemd

This is a circular dep afaiu.

That said, keep in mind that we don't have a versioned systemd dep 
(yet), only an unversioned one [1].
So maybe turning this into a versioned dep is "good enough" and should 
work in most cases.
If possible, I think we should get this into the first stable release, 
as we can't really fix this for good, only for users who haven't 
upgraded yet.

Michael
