skip-systemd-native-flag-missing-pre-depends

The named maintainer script uses the --skip-systemd-native flag to invoke-rc.d but does not declare a Pre-Depends prerequisite on a recent version of init-system-helpers.

When set, the flag helps to defer systemd actions until deb-systemd-invoke(1p) is called, but the functionality was added only in init-system-helpers version 1.52.

Please add Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends} to your debian/control file.
