Thanks for the tip. It didn't help, however. The "debconf/entry doesn't exist" problems are still there afterwards. Were there any extra parameters I ought to supply to fix_db.pl? What did help was to manually delete all entries for a given package from /var/cache/debconf/config.dat and templates.dat. After doing that the package (e.g. xserver-xorg) installed normally with the full set of debconf questions getting rewritten to those files. I'd rather not have to do that separately for each of the two dozen affected packages, or to delete those debconf files completely, if I don't have to!
