I've to follow up on the cupt one though this weekend.)

Without having checked any detail over this, my first guess would be
that this is probably #671711. But I'd have to take an actual look to
say for sure.

Well, again w/o having looked at any detail, my guess would be that
this is just a consequence of the triggers failing while the dpkg
action invoked by apt was --remove.
