This does sound like a genuine bug and something we need to fix. You do
sound like you're on the right track with it. Adding a workaround patch
to dpkg-native only would be one way to move forward but fixing it
properly as you describe is much more desirable if upstream will take
such a patch. I appreciate you taking the time to do that!

The lack of response isn't lack of interest but partly the holidays and
partly that you're on the right check so replies would mainly be "yes,
sounds good" which people tend not to post against everything they
agree with.

Cheers,

Richard
