btw, there is no need to use a symlink here (depends on space in /var I guess)

A smaller set of packages is just emacs and elpa-dash.

There are a couple of typos here, but I get what you meant. Should be
more like
sed -i s/bullseye/bookworm/ /var/lib/machines/bullseye/etc/apt/sources.list

I checked that changing this to full-upgrade does not change anything

OK, this downgrades the importance of the crash when upgrading emacs in
a chroot, I agree.
As far as the actual bug with failing to clean up, I ran
% systemd-nspawn --machine bullseye /usr/lib/dh-elpa/helper/remove emacs dash
2.17.0
and that cleans up the directory
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/dash-2.17.0
so the bug is at some other level of the stack. I guess I will have to
look at the log from the upgrade, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet.
