Yeah, that wiki is a bit confused. <pkgname>:any was introduced in dpkg 1.16.2, <pkgname>:<arch> and <pkgname>:native in dpkg 1.16.5. 1.16.1.2 and 1.16.7 are not relevant at all, the first of which has actually never existed. :) In any case, I'm adding the version introduction information to the above mentioned man page update.
