You are both correct. This is a regression from 1.5.14. :-(
It's present in branch-2-0 and HEAD as well. It's also a very serious
bug for distributions, as it might go unnoticed and then hurt completely
unrelated packages.
I am very sorry for this. I can push out a 1.5.18 with one of your
fixes, but I don't think I can manage to do it this weekend and I'm gone
most of next week.
Regards,
Ralf
PS: I have applied this patch to HACKING (HEAD, branch-2-0):
