Actually, searching on the internet there seems to be lots of different
suggested methods for 'reinstall all debian packages' and I don't have
the experience to recommend any. Though I would certainly want to use a
tool to get a record of currently installed packages and their state
before doing anything first - so I had a method of checking results and
fixing any mess I'd caused.
