The vgarchive file 00000 is the first archive file ever from that vg, so it would most likely be an empty new vg at that time. Are you sure 00000 is the file you want? Suggest doing this: grep -i before /etc/lvm/archive/vg_debussy* and see what the newest file is before you did the remove missing. I have also had to copy the archive file over and edit the file and remove the "missing" part in the file and replace it with what looks normal, as it seem to refuse to restore a archive file with missing in the file.
