As I guessed earlier, this corruption is occuring when dpkg fails to install
a package because it would overwrite files in another package.
quicktime4linux-utils will not install at the same time as recover, so
you should be able to reproduce this yourself.

Package: quicktime4linux-utils
Status: hold ok not-installed
Priority: extra
Section: utils
Version: 1.3-0.1
