I don't agree there's a chicken and egg problem here, you can build and
install dpkg using the ordinary Makefile and then use that copy of dpkg
to build yourself real source and binary packages.
I also don't think it's that cute for dpkg to be able to use itself to
bootstrap, as you still need a copy to build the libc6 packages that it
depends on.
Cross-compiling dpkg from a different platform is a far more elegant
solution to this non-problem.
