Yes, it is, as long as the issue happens when one is upgrading one or
more packages from Debian version n (or newer) to Debian version n+1
(or older), and all packages on the system are of a version between
Debian n and n+1 (inclusive). In this case, the upgrade is from
squeeze to (what is supposed to become) wheezy.
Pragmatically, note that this particular problem can also break FULL
upgrades, because apt is allowed to decide to upgrade luatex BEFORE
tex-common (especially since newer tex-common breaks older luatex, it
makes sense for the algorithm to decide to upgrade luatex first, since
the dependencies say that newer luatex does not need newer tex-common,
and is OK with the older one).
