This got fixed in commit 00e5640a99be03aba40c9e08a663b90d8f8aa797, for dpkg 1.13.2. The ChangeLog entry was: 2005-03-18 Scott James Remnant <[email protected]> * src/help.c (preexecscript): The first member of argv is always NULL because it's filled in by the return value of this function, so increment argv first when debug-outputting maintainer script arguments. Thus closing, and thanks for the report! regards, guillem
