Note also that dpkg now refuses to remove your git package .

I ran into the same issue and put the info in the bug report. Here is how I got rid of the stubborn package I installed:

Code:
~ $ sudo dpkg --remove bwbar
(Reading database ... 31118 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing bwbar ...
rm: cannot remove '/usr/sbin/bwbar': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing bwbar (--remove):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 bwbar
~ $ sudo touch /usr/sbin/bwbar
~ $ sudo dpkg --remove bwbar
(Reading database ... 31118 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing bwbar ...
In other words, just `touch /usr/bin/git-foo` for each file missing and then you will please dpkg. Perhaps there is a dpkg option too...
