You mean this:

% apt show dracut-install
Package: dracut-install
Version: 110-2
[…]
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.38), libkmod2 (>= 33~), libsystemd0 (>= 257~rc1)

But it is „only“ 257, not 259.

That would be bad. But if it is unavoidable… due to maintenance burden and
slow upstream, then…

For now I let apt hold back the package.
