I tried to reproduce this issue on a clean Ubuntu Desktop install (ISO
serial: 20220313) and wasn't able to. AIUI this could happen only if a
package providing policy-rc.d is installed (or a policy-rc.d script is
manually added to the system), see [1] for more info on this policy
layer.

Could you please check what installed /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d on your
system? Sharing the output of the following commands may help:

  ls -l /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
  ls -l /etc/alternatives/policy-rc.d
  realpath /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

Thanks!
