Thank you for your attention to detail. Your analysis is mostly correct.
In particular, the declared dependencies on systemd-sysv make the
failure mode very unlikely - hence downgrading the bug.

Stil Depends does not impact the unpack phase. In principle, you may
have a system with bfh-container on bookworm (thus having systemd-sysv)
and then upgrade to trixie while at the same time converting to
sysvinit-core (unlikely). When doing that, bfh-container may get into a
deconfigured state, systemd-sysv can be removed and sysvinit-core may be
unpacked before bfh-container is actually removed. In this scenario,
bfh-container.postrm would cause /usr/sbin/halt to vanish. As such, I
think we should apply Conflicts here to avoid the underlying situation.
