Yes, but reportbug doesn't give many choices... For apt, there should
be something like: apt-get leaves the system in an inconsistent state.

There is one, though I upgraded some packages with aptitude just
before (without any error). But they may be independent...
Is they a way to simulate an "apt-get install ..." from a given
status file, to see if the error is reproducible?
