At that point, the installation halted for several hours, I think I left it running overnight, and so I killed the process manually in order to get it to move on. It stopped again when updating LIRC, so I did the same with the intention of trying to update these packages later. I did then try to track it down further, and it seemed to be problems with javascript-common loading LIRC modules? I didn't realise there was a dependency there...

When I rebooted, it dumped me to terminal, and I could then see the issue was with LIRC loading modules. So I disabled my remote control in my lirc.conf, rebooted, and it was then able to boot properly.

I'm not sure what is wrong with my LIRC install yet, but it seems that this is the root cause. I've not tried to reinstall javascript-common yet, but I assume it would work now.
