That's not a supported upgrade path. The only supported one is stable → stable+1 (for which we have suitable Breaks relations in place), https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_make_a_FrankenDebian . > I expect you forgot to place a suitable breaks on the older packages > after the reorganisation. > […] > Clearly what should be expected from a targetted upgrade specifying > just `cryptsetup` and not `cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin > cryptsetup-initramfs` should be that it either pulls in all three as > necessary upgrades or at least complains about version conflicts.

I suppose adding Breaks on pre-Buster packages won't hurt so I'm keeping that open (with a lower severity) but you're very much on your own once you start mixing releases like this :-P -- Guilhem.
