So far I've identified 33 packages. Packages removed after squeeze
should be all there, for packages removed after lenny I've about 5000
still to check, 17000 done, but the potentially problematic cases should
all be done, so I don't expect any more to show up (unless "fixing" some
of them allows more packages to be tested with piuparts).
I've prepared a patch against git HEAD, but unfortunately I didn't
manage to build dpkg from git (with pbuilder, in a sid environment, even
after adding B-D: autofoo*), so I couldn't test whether this works as
intended.
build fails with:
[...]
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4
error: cannot get project version.
configure.ac:13: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and
version arguments

Subject: [PATCH] add Breaks against obsolete packages using install-info in
their prerm
These packages have been removed after they were released with lenny or
squeeze, but they may survive distupgrades to wheezy and jessie.
Since their prerm uses install-info they cannot be removed any longer
after installing dpkg 1.17.x and there is no upgrade path to a fixed
package version, so add Breaks against them. (Closes: #735159)
All Breaks have the form PACKAGE (<< VERSION).
If the source package still exists, I used the VERSION that dropped the
problematic PACKAGE. Otherwise I used the next possible maintainer
upload VERSION that could reintroduce PACKAGE into sid.
