I looked at the other force, but no luck:
# dpkg -P remove-essential menu
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove remove-essential which
isn't installed.
dpkg: error processing menu (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
I most admit that i'm not too happy about randomly trying any force
command. As you mention and the man-pages, it's something you should
be carefull with. So any ideas how to force it completely in or out.
