I guess this is the effect of

https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/commit/eecd735541c9d5deb9cebd5f2512e7da8b4368a9

that adds a conflicts with initscripts. You can remove initscripts or
reassign to systemd as whishlist, explaining why you need both
initscripts and systemd-sysv installed.

Lorenzo
