If I add the following pinning chrony is kept:
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/chrony-pin
Package: systemd-timesyncd
Pin: release n=focal*
Pin-Priority: -1
Ntp packages is affected the same way.
Systemd's dependencies (systemd-timesyncd | time-daemon) allows keeping
chrony, ntp, etc., but APT chooses systemd-timesyncd. Maybe we need a
quirk or an adjustment of a quirk in u-r-u.

Bug description:
Due to changes in systemd for bug 1849156 this issue now happens.
On an upgrade for people that had chrony installed on a do-release upgrade it
now will:
Calculating the changes
MarkInstall systemd-timesyncd:amd64 < none -> 245.4-4ubuntu1 @un uN Ib >
FU=1
Removing: chrony
MarkDelete chrony:amd64 < 3.2-4ubuntu4.2 -> 3.5-6ubuntu3 @ii umU Ib > FU=0
That isn't what users want, those who had chrony installed would want
to get chrony upgraded and systemd-timesyncd (which now is a separate
pacakge) not installed.
I'd ask you to revise the dependencies that got changes in systemd
245.4-2ubuntu1 so that on an upgrade from e.g. Bionic chrony stays
installed as that was an opt-in chances are quite high people would
want to keep it that way.
