Not without removing the diversion first.  The original bug report
demonstrates that I can't remove the package.  Whether
/usr/share/man/man1/json_pp.1.bundled.gz exists or not doesn't affect
that.  (It did not exist originally.)

I managed to fix it by doing "dpkg-divert --remove
/usr/share/man/man1/json_pp.1.gz", which allowed the package to be
removed.  Whatever the underlying issue was should probably still be
fixed, although this allows me to get aptitude working again.
