Thanks.
I had a go at reproducing this back when you first reported it, without
much luck. Perhaps the dpkg -l will give some clue as to what the
difference is.

Checking and logging those two separately might make sense so we can see
which one failed if this happens again.
And perhaps logging /boot/*$kver* would be a good idea too.
In the absence of being able to repro that might the best we can manage.
