This happens because "policykit-1" is being installed at the same time,
but it is only unpacked, not yet configured while other packages are
being configured which calls systemctl. This is only cosmetical and does
not actually break the packages, so lowering importance.
I think policykit-1 itself is fine, we do want to mask services of packages
which are unpackaged but not yet configured.
So this is indeed somewhere between init-system-helpers or systemctl itself,
either of which could suppress that error message.
