The consensus on #debian-devel is that nobody should waste their time to fix this, but I will be happy to accept a patch. This post documents a possible solution: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/02/msg00254.html . As suggested by #debian-devel, I am reassigning this bug to dpkg. -- ciao, Marco
