"Packages MUST not depend on both cron and systemd." is equivalent to
should which invalidates what Bill was conveying.
FPC seems to be under the assumption that it is fine to introduce a new
package or a sub package and have that sub package depend on systemd
when neither that nor the original package contained systemd units or
otherwise has or had an existing hard dependency on systemd.
So basically you have introduce an dependency on systemd where there
should be none which at that point you could just as well migrate
everything from cron to systemd unit which requires a completely
different implementation ( thus completely differently constructed
section in the guidelines ) and is absolutely not the intention of my
cron to timer proposal since cron is not 1 to 1 replacement for systemd.
I thought I had been very clear on this but apparently that message is
not getting through hence I give up and have now formerly retracted this
feature.
Do what you want migrating timer units since you are apparently are the
expert in how this should be done and implemented in the distribution.
