That looks like http://bugs.debian.org/549976, which seems be harmless.

Which version of package extlinux do you have installed? This looks like
http://bugs.debian.org/574071, which was fixed in version 2:3.85+dfsg-2.
If your package manager is jammed by this problem then you can try to
download the .deb for the newest version of extlinux from
http://packages.debian.org/extlinux and then install it directly with
"dpkg -i".
