I think i got it. I did following steps:

1. Remove cryptsetup-initramfs > no change
2. Set /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf > no change
3. Uninstalled kdump (purge) + changed grub config and updated grub with update-grub + Removed /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools

Now it installed:

As always: Never use upgrade, always use dist-upgrade. A normal upgrade will break things, was it is written in many places including the official documentation etc.
