and the new /lib/systemd/system/iodined.service exists with 1 because
START_IODINED != true

See above :)

Interesting ... but still, this failure means that dpkg aborts the
upgrade, so we have a problem here.
(And if the service runs its unwanted.)

Right. And
"There is no clean way to evaluate these in a systemd unit. You can

is not desirable."
matches what we see here.
