I'm replying directly here, not via launchpad's bug listing. The first thing that I tried after the upgrade broke was apt-get -f install, and that gave me the error that apt (and the upgrade) was broken.
As apt is broken, I would probably have to install python-launchpad outside of apt/dpkg and that would probably mean modifying the install scripts.
