Unfortunately this is not correct: there is no pending fix for this bug, because I had not realised that https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/commit/79602fc225bcb3b5d57fd2a2c877439371480802 had happened and sysv-rc-conf depends on sysv-rc. Apparently having this installed with systemd-sysv "causes problems". Not sure what those problems are - mostly this package consists of README files! Apologies for the error.
