Thanks for the debug rerun, much appreciated! So while the sgml-base
awaiting trigger does not help matters, I'm not entirely sure this
might not be still a problem with dpkg itself. :/

(I did have a remaining case in mind when I fixed the last batch
of problems, that might require an alternative cycle procressing
strategy, but not sure yet whether that's necessary and founded.)

So, could I ask for another debug rerun with --debug=70441? Otherwise
I'll try to reproduce this locally during the weekend or so.
