I reported Bug#301912, consisting of repeated perl warnings and
segfaults during package installation.

It turns out to likely be hardware data corruption caused by a new
memory module or changed timing.  I caught it by the venerable
"burnit" kernel compile loop script, aided by distcc to keep cycle
times reasonably low.  Overnight memtest and debsum loops did not
cause a failure, but dpkg was failing about every third run.
Sorry about the false alarm.
