Right, I've known this issue for some time, it's fixed in my next/master branch: <https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?h=next/master&id=a4adffb28703efb0a94187aaaeb88a5d0ccf06d9> (which I'm assuming it's the same). The current release has just slipped way beyond the usual frequency. I'm finishing it off now, hopefully it will be uploaded in a couple of days. :/ Thanks, Guillem
