It has worked!  I think this bug can be closed. =)

For publicity reasons, I'll also put here what I did exactly, should
anyone else have this problem.

I unpacked xfsprogs*.deb with "dpkg -x" ("ar -x" is also possible; ar
is available on the d-i console, while dpkg isn't) on another
partition.  I recursively copied /lib/ to that same partition.
  Then I rebooted with the Debian d-i CD, used another console
(Ctrl-F2) and ran "xfs_repair -n /dev/discs/disc0/part5".


Un grand merci pour tout, Julien!
