Note the last bit: even "systemctl status" barfs. While I'm root. I
conjectured that a systemd upgrade broke it: the mass upgrade install
systemd 245.6-3. I then installed the last version sitting in my
/var/cache/apt/archives (systemd 239-15), and that brought the machine
back to a usable state.
Note that I'm filing this bug on the machine after the downgrade, so the
diagnostic files may not be fully instructive.
Thanks!

I'm closing this issue at this point, as direct upgrades from 239-15 to
testing/sid are not tested/supported.
If you can reproduce this issue with a clean buster installation being
upgraded to bullseye, please reopen.
