Matthias and me debugged the issue via IRC.

It was caused by an update-appstream-index from the 0.1-1 package
running in an endless loop (usually only runs for less than a minute),
which was caused by the missing dependency on PolKit (which also fixed
http://bugs.debian.org/703513),so this is already partially fixed by
the 0.2.0-2 upload and Matthias knows about this issue.

Killing the remaining update-appstream-index process manually solved
the upgrade issue for me.

                Regards, Axel
