This is to be corrected.
Lately I got a mail from Marijn Ros ([email protected]). As it turned 
out, the cmake 2.8.2 is broken, not dpkg.
The upcoming version 2.8.3 will be corrected.
In the deb-package there is a tar-file
        data.tar.gz
which lacks the directory information. I never before have seen such a 
tar-file. Certainly not created with tar-command.

Here is the proposed work-around for e.g. libpano13 for users having this cmake 
version:

        #mkdir unpacked
        #cd unpacked
        #ar x ../libpano13.build/libpano13-2.9.17-Linux.deb
        #mkdir untarred
        #cd untarred
        #tar zxvf ../data.tar.gz
        #tar czf ../data.tar.gz .
        #cd ..
        #ar a ../libpano13-2.9.17-Linux.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz 
data.tar.gz
        ...
