Hi Peter Green,

first of all: Thanks for your report!

Could you attach the following files (from your chroot) for easier
reproduction please?
/var/lib/apt/extended_states
/var/lib/dpkg/status

But the first thing i see is that sysv-rc is priority 'required' and depends
on insserv which is only 'optional'. That is normally not allowed.
Maybe this is confusing the autotremover… (but it should not).
