It wasn't removed. It was moved into a separate package named 
systemd-boot. See the corresponding NEWS entry.

Since the binaries in /boot/efi are not removed after the package split, 
there should not be a boot failure.
Of course, registering new kernels does not work anymore unless you 
install systemd-boot.

Let's clone/reassign this issue to sicherboot so it can adjust its 
dependencies (which should be systemd-boot | systemd (<< 251.2-3)

I'll probably add a versioned Breaks: (<< sicherboot 0.1.6)
Assuming the next upload of sicherboot will have a fixed dependency.
