[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#774124: dpkg.status backup from before 30dec

[Guillem Jover]

Control: reassign -1 apt
Control: retitle -1 apt tries to configure dbus before libdbus, fails to upgrade
Control: forcemerge -1 771428
Control: affects -1 dbus src:dbus

[ Reassigning to apt; CCing apt, Karl and Erwan. ]

Also this probably deserves to be RC, as apt cannot get out of that
state, but I'll leave that to apt's maintainers.
