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.
