Sorry, I mean upgrading of p1. The following command sequence demonstrates the bug. I first install p2 then p1 only to ensure that dependency is there. Dpkg leaves it unconfigured, so I install p2 anf then configure p1. Then I upgrade p1, and dpkg silently does it, breaking the dependency for p2. Then I run apt-get install -f, just to show that dependency becomes treally broken, and apt notices that.
