Actually, if there's no relation between the inconsistency and the
packages apt-get wants to update/remove, apt-get could work without any
problem. So it is a PITA if it just refuses to work because the whole is
inconsistent.
I once send a mail to the apt development ml about this with some
examples in which cases an inconsistent rpm database is unavoidable for
end-users and apt-get becomes useless. Which is unfortunately the case for
the machine-park I maintain.
Nobody replied to it ;)
