Otherwise, I don't see a bug in dpkg for this here. And I'd be inclined to close this.
I've managed to solve most of the upgrade paths by propagating some Conflicts from libreoffice-common to libreoffice-core, s.t. the packages get removed right away and are not deconfigured first (which causes the Conflicts encountered later to be ignored). What I see left for dpkg is the missing verboseness when it is actually removing the conflicting package: Preparing to unpack .../0-ure_7.0.4-4~deb11anbe2_amd64.deb ...

Reordering the removals should hopefully be sufficient. I'm not sure what makes libreoffice-impress so special that dpkg wants to remove libreoffice-core in this case. I've already added Conflicts against libreoffice-ogltrans (removed after buster), but I'll try something else ... in a few hours after rebuilding again ... (I'll send a patch to the other lo bug once I've a working solution) Andreas
