Actually, besides creating triggers cycles, this seems rather an abuse
of triggers. Because what the package seems to want is to be notified
when any package is unpacked. This is really not what triggers where
intended for, even if they "allow" this kind of usage.

If you need to hook into dpkg whenever something gets unpacked/configured
etc, please just switch to use invoke hooks instead (please check the man
page for further details).
In addition as a side comment (but maybe I should file another bug
instead), please use «dpkg-query -f '${Version}' -W dpkg» instead of
using «dpkg --version», which is more future proof.
Thanks,
