The complete log dpkg log from the upgrade.
Also make sure to disable the service (again) before doing the tests.

We basically have two places in systemd.postinst, where the service can
be enabled:
The one which reads the entries from /run/systemd/was-enabled (which is
created in preinst) which doesn't seem to happen in your case.

and

if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "218-11~"; then
    systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service || true
fi

The latter should only be run from upgrades older then 218-11 or on new
installs.


So for some reason "$2" (the old version) was either empty or lower then
218-11.

That's why I want the complete dpkg log.
