Per backup, forse. Per cancellarla credo di no.

Recentemente su una mailing list debian in inglese:

Accidentally -- yes, stupidly -- I deleted *all* files from:

        /var/lib/dpkg/info
	
How can I re-build this information?

Now, apt-get, dpkg and dselect complain about serious lack of
information; but, everything appears to continue functioning as
expected.

Do you still have /var/lib/dpkg/status? If so, you can extract (using
dpkg --get-selections or whatever) the list of packages you have
installed, and reinstall the lot. 'apt-get --reinstall install
<package>' is probably the quickest way to do that.

Keep a backup of /etc just in case, but I *think* dpkg should still
honour the conffile information in /var/lib/dpkg/status.
