I'm sorry. I failed at copy and pasting. The conflicting file is
/usr/bin/7zz.

This is true for experimental. In older versions, 7zip contains 7zz. The
problem arises from unpacking an old version of 7zip concurrently with a
current version of 7zip-standalone.

The dependency you mention here removes the need to issue Breaks, but
you can still unpack those packages together even when their
dependencies are unsatisfied. You still need to declare "Replaces: 7zip
(<< 23.01+dfsg-4~)".

Please try dpkg --unpack 7zip-standalone_23.01+dfsg-4~exp1_amd64.deb
7zip_23.01+dfsg-3_amd64.deb.
