Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5
Severity: important

When deal with large pacakge(>10G Bytes), dpkg-deb/dpkg with a 'bad magic at 
end of first header' error when using 'dpkg-deb -e' to extract the package.

Say if use 'dpkg-deb -b' to build a large package(>10G Bytes), it is ok. but if 
'dpkg-deb -e' to extract the package, error will happenned.
Is there any size limitation for dpkg/dpkg-deb tools?
