There is nothing that can be done here. You have to unpack apt, libc6 and
the the new libstdc++ for APT in that order because of the way they all
interdepend. If you stop APT in the middle then it will be broken. This is
primarily due to a bug in glibc that prevents older APT's from working
with newer glibcs.

It already does this.
