Well, I just simply did a:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/lxpanel_0.7.2-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

It works. It's wrong, but it works. At least my lxde-desktop is now working again.

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/lxpanel_0.7.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (see #4)

did not help in my case, but

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/lxpanel-data_0.7.2-1ubuntu1_all.deb

indeed solved the problem -> the lxde desktop works properly again!

We need to get this into vivid proper so we can get dailies working
again. Luckily, testing is focused on 14.04.2 right now, but in two
days, a little help would be nice. :)
