The upgrade was and is possible but this time around it's kinda tricky
because of some packages. The installation/upgrade instructions do tell
an easy way to upgrade.

Since the damage has already been done the given instructions will not
work. There is still a way out of this, unless re-installation is the
desired option. You can simply force the installation of pulseaudio and
continue after that.

$ fakeroot dpkg -i
--force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/pulseaudio_0.9.15-1maemo16
+0m5_armel.deb
$ fakeroot apt-get -f dist-upgrade

should do it.
