So it seems to be misusage of maintainer scripts.

Huh? What kind of misuse of maintainer scripts do you mean?

/var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.conffiles:

So is this maybe a debhelper issue?
Fwiw, I've never heard of remove-on-upgrade before.

Let me add here, that in 247.9-2, no maintainer scripts were added or changed manually. I just diffed the generated maintscript/control files, and they do indeed differ. This is not under my control though and the preinst/postinst/... files no longer contain any calls to dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile. Code that was generated by debhelper/dh_installdeb.
