systemd.eclass has more than one purpose, and therefore such dep didn't belong there (ebuilds should take care of the dependencies when using tmpfiles logic from it). tmpfiles.eclass on the other hand has a single purpose, so we've solved the problem by adding an RDEPEND there. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
