Would you notice it instantly or only when you restart X?

If you can't give us a hint on how they might have disappeared from
/var/lib/dpkg/diversions, there's not much we can do.

dpkg itself when dealing with upgrades only uses /var/lib/dpkg/diversions
in a read-only mode and there's no way a simple package upgrade would have
resulted in the loss of those entries.

Is there anything else that uses dpkg-divert and that could have resulted
in this behaviour ?

Maybe look around in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* for maintainer scripts (of local
packages?) which could have some weird usage of dpkg-divert ?

How did you put in place all your diversions, do you have script for this?
Maybe it did not work as you thought it did.

Cheers,
