It seems that on package openssh-server, there is now one dependency

This feature is not compatible with one target running sysvinit-core

REMOVING:
openssh-server* systemd-standalone-sysusers*
But:
Package: systemd-standalone-sysusers
Description: standalone sysusers binary for use in non-systemd systems
Standalone sysusers binary with minimal dependencies.
This package conflicts with the main systemd package and is meant for use in
non-systemd systems.
Is this actually a problem for any reason other than you having removed
everything matching "systemd*"? As indicated, this particular package
should be fine even if you're running sysvinit.
An alternative, if you so wish, is to install the opensysusers package
instead. openssh-server's dependencies allow that (since it Provides:
systemd-sysusers).
