Thanks! Closing this bug report then.
If anybody else has the same problem and finds this, I've worked around
it with the following project config in OBS now:
%if %_repository == "Debian_Unstable"
Ignore: ed
%endif
Best regards,
Oliver

in Debian sid, installing ed fails with:

It looks like this is related to usr merge, the binary seems to be in
/usr/bin/ed now: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/ed/filelist
The error happens in an opensuse build server, trying to build a Debian
package that depends on ed.
The bootstrap protocol requires that every transitively essential
package has been configured at least once before installing other
packages. ed is such an other package. Therefore, we may assume that
usrmerge or usr-is-merged (which are a dependency of essential
init-system-helpers) has been configured at least once. OBS has its own
bootstrap strategy that violates this requirement. The bug is to be
found there rather than in ed.
