Thanks to the systemd maintainers for relaxing the dependency in
systemd-ukify. I can now install diffoscope in sid without apt
trying to change the init system.
FTR I still need to explicitly specify:
apt install diffoscope sysvinit-core colord
since apt fails to observe that polkitd and therefore colord are in
fact installable. But it works when I insist. That seems to be a bug
in apt, probably related to #940965. The best workaround is to use
apt preferences pinning as recommneded in
