Thanks, @Camelot, for the bugreport link.
Michael Biebl's comment (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847998#30):

Code: [Select]

... as you are using stretch/sid and systemd, you can safely
purge the initscripts package (along with sysv-rc, insserv and startpar)is the answer to my question

I purge this and works.

Code: [Select]

initscripts startpar sysv-rc sysv-rc-confyou can solved this.

Temporary fix in new manpages package:

Code: [Select]

manpages (4.09-2) unstable; urgency=medium   
    * Do not install tmpfs.5 (Closes: #847998)
    This is a temporary fix to allow the installation with initscripts,
    because the manpage tmpfs.5 has been newly introduced in manpages 4.09.
    In the long run, the naming conflict should be sorted out between
    manpages and initscripts.

... or

Code: [Select]

# apt purge initscripts startpar sysv-rc sysv-rc-conf insserv
