Retried the upgrade. It failed at the same point as on 2009-03-01. However, after the reboot it turns out I have a workable system. For as far as I can see any update fails at the end with an abort. The update is applied however. The package is not deleted from /var/cache/apt (the pertinent synaptic setting is still there) - "apt-get clean" needs to be run.
