I checked the complete Debian archive and there is only one package
installing a dispatcher script which doesn't check for the $action
parameter, so is potentially affected. Easy to fix.

You were talking about many scripts doing it wrong? Do you have a list
of such packages/scripts?

I get where you're coming from, but there will always be ways for people
to shoot themselves in the foot and I'd rather prefer consistency here
then convenience for lazy script writers.
