I reported this (and a more complete listing) to debian-devel.
Apparently a predepends should fix this (Sorry, I can't remember
what package, probably was libc6 which hasn't been installed yet).
Once the system gets in this state, it is difficult to recover
(last time it happened I had to creatively use dpkg -i and
dpkg --configure --pending).
(hopefully this E-Mail gets the right from address, bam@snoopy.apana.org.au)
