I've verified that if I copy the backup (/var/backup/dpkg.status.0) to
/var/lib/dpkg/status and then run apt-get update it works fine. This
would be doing a dist-upgrade again to get the file synced with what's
on the system.

Please advise how to discover what it is in the existing status file
that's causing the problem. I suspect it's related to this
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276060) but I don't
know how to discover which is the offending package.
