Right, the problem is that dpkg-gencontrol only calls file_lock once
per invokation so there's no clean way to avoid the duped warnings,
one solution would be to get the buidds to install the package as was
the case with previous versions where it was a hard Depends instead of
a Recommends.
As such I guess this bug could be merged with 677865.
