Bug description:
  [Impact]
  During upgrades from Jammy to Noble, systemd.postinst trys to reexec all running user managers. It does so using a feature that was not added until v250, and attempting this against a v249 daemon results in it being killed instead, which brings down all user sessions.

  Hence, during the upgrades, the user session is killed, and the system
  is left in a bad state.

  [Test Plan]

  Run an upgrade from Jammy to Noble on Ubuntu desktop. The upgrade
  should proceed normally (or at least not have the entire session
  killed by systemd.postinst).

  [Where problems could occur]

  The fix is to add a version guard against this logic in
  systemd.postinst. If the version string was wrong or typo'd, the fix
  would not work as expected.
