This happened to me today too, but I recovered OK.
First, I booted from a second Debian installation and fscked the
partition containing the crashed system. There were lots of errors.
# e2fsck -f -v /dev/hda?
Having got the original system to boot I ran
# dpkg --configure -a
to configure the downloaded packages that had not been configured
because of the crash. This threw up an error that two packages were
corrupt and needed to be reinstalled. I did that using
# apt-get --reinstall install <packagename(s)>
All is running sweetly now.
