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

/var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.conffiles:
=====================================
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.hostname1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.locale1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.login1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.machine1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.network1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.resolve1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.systemd1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.timedate1.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.systemd-shim.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/timesyncd
remove-on-upgrade /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
remove-on-upgrade /etc/pam.d/systemd-user
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
/etc/systemd/networkd.conf
/etc/systemd/pstore.conf
/etc/systemd/resolved.conf
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf
/etc/systemd/system.conf
/etc/systemd/user.conf

and the preinst/postinst/... files no longer contain any calls to 
dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile. Code that was generated by 
debhelper/dh_installdeb.

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