(This isn’t a bug in the package per se but the way to install
it is difficult by necessity.)

Sorry !
test 5: install
If I see this correctly, this is apt bug #1052133 which the
apt maintainers closed as WONTFIX.
Try:
# apt-get --purge --allow-remove-essential install sysvinit-core
systemd-sysv-
(Yes, there’s a hyphen-minus behind systemd-sysv, it tells apt to remove
the package while installing another.)
On the other hand, you also have trixie in your sources.list which
may cause extra fun, so if the above doesn’t work, post output and
we can look again.
Good luck,
