Discovered a workaround:
dpkg --purge usplash dpkg --purge readahead dpkg --configure initscripts dpkg --configure util-linux
getting rid of stale initscripts from usplash and readahead removed a couple of init script dependency loops, which led dpkg --configure util-linux proceed.
apt dist-upgrade -f is running now, we'll see how it goes.
