I now have this problem on the 1.580.3 LTS package on Ubuntu 10.04:

Preparing to replace jenkins 1.580.2 (using .../jenkins_1.580.3_all.deb) ...
 * Stopping Jenkins Continuous Integration Server jenkins                [ OK ] 
Unpacking replacement jenkins ...
dpkg-deb: file `/var/cache/apt/archives/jenkins_1.580.3_all.deb' contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz     , giving up
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/jenkins_1.580.3_all.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
 * Starting Jenkins Continuous Integration Server jenkins                [ OK ] 
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/jenkins_1.580.3_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'm guessing that dpkg's default behavior on the build machine switched to packing at least some members as tar.xz, which isn't supported in the dpkg-1.15.5.x on Ubuntu 10.04. At least that seems to be what's suggested by this SO post in which one solution was to additionally specify gzip compression to dpkg.
