Package: watchdog
Version: 5.2.5-2
I am having the exact same problem, on 12 out of 12 debian testing
machines. Hardware, software, and architecture are widely variable.
All are running custom 2.6 kernels however.
I don't know about R?mi, but here are the answers to the questions you
asked from my point of view:
It hangs, whether upgrading (or retrying the failed upgrade),
reinstalling, removing and installing, or installing fresh. This is
only true (in my experience) for version 5.2.5-2. In 5.2.5-1, it hangs
ONLY when upgrading, and completes successfully if you kill it and retry
the failed upgrade. All other versions have worked perfectly for me.
The postinst script seems to go defunct. I dunno how to actually make
ps print ppid's, but here is a `ps faux`:

A new watchdog process IS running at this point.
And here is the output from the terminal (a previous watchdog upgrade
hung and was killed prior to this):
