cgroups must be mounted, but many users manually mount them with an fstab entry. Adding a dependency on cgroups-bin would break those users. Marking this invalid.

Hmm, if I may suggest:
 - a suggests entry (not installed by default)
 - and if we're expecting users to interact badly with cgroups-bin,
that sounds like a separate bug in cgroups-bin.
