I'd kindly ask not to fulfill this request, to avoid taking over the
dpkg namespace (and divering CLI conventions, etc). In addition I'd
rather see the libdpkg-log-perl modules merged back into libdpkg-perl,
and the possible dpkg-report (or other name) provided by some of the
packages from the dpkg source, but not dpkg itself due to it not
wanting perl dependencies (or the program would need to be rewritten
in sh or C).

thanks,
guillem
