dpkg does not produce invalid .list files. Data gets corrupted by bad
hardware (disk/memory/filesystem bugs) and after that dpkg complains
about the corrupted data.
All those .list files are important. If one gets corrupted, you can
remove it but you should immediately reinstall the corresponding package
to regenerate it (apt-get --reinstall install <package>). The format of
those files is easy, one filename per line and nothing else. If you see
garbage, then it's corrupted.
** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Invalid
