So the problem is not at all dpkg related... it's just
linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64 that can't be configured because
update-initramfs fails for some unknown reason. Reassigning it to
update-initramfs.

Do you have enough space in /boot ? What gives "df -h /boot" ?

This is probably the core of the problem. Do you have libmtp8 installed ?
What gives the following commands ?

ls -al /etc/udev/ /etc/udev/rules.d/
dpkg -s libmtp8 libmtp7

In any case, update-initramfs could be more resistant to a what is
probably a dangling symlink...
