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.
