MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for dpkg-full [2]:

This package is the equivalent of repo's dpkg.

Submitter stated in their explanation for this package on 2023-04-02
that repo's package does not include Debian's 'update-alternatives'
utility.

But as of my verification done today, repo's dpkg does contain that
executable in /usr/bin, and is built from the byte-to-byte exact same
source file as in this AUR PKGBUILD.

This build also allows the 'i686' architecture, but ArchLinux32's repo
also carries their compilation of dpkg for that one, and it also
includes Debian's update-alternatives.

Therefore this package is superfluous and can be deleted.
