This problem should be fixed since apt-listbugs/0.0.77 (see changelog)
and I am not able to reproduce it.
I've just tried the following in a sid chroot:
# aptitude install apt-listbugs
[...]
# aptitude remove apt-listbugs
[...]
# ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs
ls: cannot access /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs: No such file or
directory
# ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*listbugs*
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.disabled
# aptitude install apt-listbugs
[...]
# echo $?
0

This file should be renamed to
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.disabled
when apt-listbugs is removed (but not purged).
Both apt-get and aptitude ignore *.disabled configuration fragments,
AFAICT.

If everything else fails, try to temporarily convert the line
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10";};
into a comment (by placing a // symbol at the beginning of the line
itself)...
