So, I get why you did it, but my concern is that when you tell portage
that non-systemd users shouldn't use this package, portage helpfully
solves that problem by turning all the non-systemd users into systemd
users, instead of switching them to the alternative that works without
systemd.

Whatever - short of profiles/mix-ins or whatever you want to do on a
big scale there isn't a simple solution to problems like this.  It
just isn't obvious to users who haven't read GMN that there is a
simple fix.  Even users who do read GMN might get confused by the
version number issue, as the change impacts stable users who aren't
using the version of upower mentioned in GMN.

Plus, GMN isn't in-your-face like portage news.
