This might also be the same issue as reported in

(some kind of race condition where multiple consoles are available and
entered into the inittab, and a /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak is found

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/udpkg/-/blob/master/status.c#L390
could be a potential section of code to investigate further.
It doesn't look like full-fat dpkg performs these kind of renames on
the status file.
Thanks Cyril, Frédéric - it feels like we're reaching a consensus that
udpkg may not be multi-process safe (although, strictly speaking, I
would say we haven't proven that yet).
The authors of multi-console support could be the best people to
recommend a path forward, as they may have close knowle
