Since this is my home app server and testbed machine, I started uncomplicating my setup to see if that would help...

dpkg --configure -a still froze at Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin.

Also attached current menu.lst.

Interestingly, running update-grub manually seems to work fine (but walks over the kernels twice?):
