This has now been fixed in apt 1.9.4 (experimental). I propose to add Breaks: apt (<< 1.9.4) to the libelogind0 stanza in d/control. In my testing with apt v1.9.4 system breakage is avoided. After the systemd prerm fails, dpkg returns immediately and apt is still available to fix the system. Are you happy with this? Mark
