That’s just because e.g. m68k hasn’t built that new package yet.
Look at the versions.

I wonder what will happen on kernels without cgroups support…
but anyway, yes, please split the package. If those services
really depend on the systemd _binary_, split between systemd
(containing only the magic needed to make it init) and another
package, say systemd-binaries, containing the rest.

If, on the other hand, those services the g-s-d needs cannot
work any more when systemd is not the init system used, then
I’d rather see gnome be removed from Debian. This is inacceptable.
