Hello Aurelien, sorry for answering late, I was a few days offline.

Who would be the best party to fix this? (Sorry, at the moment I don't
have a clue what causes this problem).

I did an upgrade today (dist-upgrade is still broken) and for some
strange reason I cannot install gcc-defaults:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gcc-defaults
I also get this in an current (unrelated) sid chroot. Strange.
Any help much appreciated (or pointers).
Greetings
Helge
