Seems to have worked for me, but now I get the same error for /etc/init.d/nftables:

Setting up orphan-sysvinit-scripts (0.10) ...
/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.
/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/init.d/nftables

dpkg: error processing package orphan-sysvinit-scripts (--configure):
 installed orphan-sysvinit-scripts package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Shall I open a new bug or is this considered the same issue?

Hmm, after reading the changelog entry for this fix:

  * Check for scripts still owned by another package (Closes: #998893)

This sounds like a quite generic fix.

So I tried this for nftables as well, but it seems to have made things
worse:

# ln -s /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables /etc/init.d/nftables
# dpkg --pending --configure
Setting up orphan-sysvinit-scripts (0.10) ...
/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.
/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command -v' in scripts instead.
cp: '/usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables' and '/usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables' are the same file
dpkg: error processing package orphan-sysvinit-scripts (--configure):
 installed orphan-sysvinit-scripts package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 orphan-sysvinit-scripts

Any adivce here?
