It seems as of now and for me, that debconf is the problem. Once it is

anything without; you can't reinstall it; a circular problem ?
But the upside (if there is one) is that may be the only package you
have to get working, before an automated check is possible.
Some things I meant to add to my first reply was the in lieu of
debsums you can unzip all the files and directories of the deb package
files into a temporary directory using dpkg-deb, and compare them to
your installed version. This doesn't seem to hard to do in a script.
I've heard of cases of corruption the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ install and
deinstall scripts, so you might want to give those special attention.
Finally, if you haven't already, you might give some thought to what is
corrupting your disk. If there's a hardware problem you could be getting
ongoing failures and even make the condition worse. You may want to
clone the disk and work on the copy on another system.
