Oh, a new upstream release! Let's try… :-)
Nothing obvious in the output of apt:

And just for the record: This only happens on some of my hosts. I have
several hosts (also with a lot of elpa plugins, but probably still not
as many as on the host where it happens reproducibly) where the
upgrade from 27.x to 28.x worked fine on the first run.
It seems that those hosts with this issue are desktops or laptops with
emacs-gtk installed while others are VMs or Raspberry Pi based servers
where I only install emacs-lucid or emacs-nox and also no unnecessary
desktop bloat like dbus, etc.
P.S.: My way to clean this up is to run in another root shell this
endless loop:
# while sleep 12; do ps auxwww | fgrep '/usr/bin/emacs --batch -l
/tmp/emacs-int-comp-subr' | fgrep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r kill
-TERM; done
