I think most of it is just a matter of omitting or ignoring the little discrepancies. I'm sure that for all of its mistakes and poor writing, the general plot is salvageable (it's not like the Illusive Man dies at the end, right?). We only need to take and use that; the batarian ship having a Tantalus Drive Core or Ugho living and dying once again are negligible bits that need not be mentioned, and bigger issues could be noted in Trivia sections. In the end, we only have to be a little more strict with how we summarize Deception than previous books.
