At least can't reproduce this with 0.7.4-1 in Debian. 0.7.3 is known
to be quite buggy.

Yeah. This is very likely https://bugs.debian.org/801430 (circular
dependencies in internal_mark_delete()) which has been fixed in 0.7.4-1.

aptitude-create-state-bundle -- but that's probably not needed as this
is very likely already fixed (in Debian).
