The following returned no error when run against my local amd64,i386
mirror:
for i in $(find /srv/mirrors/debian -name '*.udeb'|sort); do
rm DEBIAN/ -rf 2>/dev/null
echo "Checking: $i"
dpkg --control $i
for f in $(find DEBIAN -type f 2>/dev/null); do
if [ ! -s $f ]; then echo "FAIL: $f in $i"; fi
done
done
I guess there's no need for special-casing udebs in that test.
