I reveived some help from anarcat on irc to work around this issue and
unblock upgrades on my system. While I think a fix would be nice for
this issue, I'm reporting here how I got around this in case others end
up in the same situation as I was and are looking to continue upgrading
their sid machine:

"apt remove debian-security-support" was triggering the hook and made it
impossible to remove the package, but "apt purge ..." did work. so in
order to unblock things one might want to run:

apt purge debian-security-support
apt update && apt upgrade
apt install debian-security-support

cheers!
