It's a bandage, but I don't think it resolves the issue or explains why it happens.

No version control.

The issue in my case is unrelated to imcomplete installations.

Did that fix this issue? It sounds like maybe your configuration is
under version control and something got out of sync?

I've also occasionally seen issues where if a package fails to install,
it gets removed from 'package-select-packages', but I haven't been able
to reproduce it. I think that's covered by bug#64995 though.
