At least I was able to burst this dependency cycle by setting the
package status to hold (after removing the dependend packages to be
found by apt-cache rdepends libmtp8):
~# dpkg -l libmtp8
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version
