Citing man 5 deb (which is referenced by policy):
These members must occur in this exact order. Current implementations
should ignore any additional members after data.tar.gz.
The ftp tools doesn't ignore these members, in fact they check
explicitly for them and reject them. This is a sever change to the
toolchain because it breaks the status quo and undermines the usability
of binary package signatures. One doesn't always have the posibility to
check the md5 sum in the aptcache against the Release file signature and
Package files, because those are moving targets. So it is important to
quite some people to use binary package signatures, especially for long
time usage.
Thanks for returning to the old functionality in advance and removing
this limitation that has technical background, and is against the
policy.
So long,
Alfie
