Please take a look at this file: /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.preinst The udev package has a check in preinst which aborts the upgrade if it determines that the new udev will not work with the current kernel. Would not be possible to do something similar with systemd? IMHO, a package that refuses to be upgraded for a good reason will always be better than a "smooth upgrade" that makes the system not to work properly anymore.
