Well, that's great and all, but what am I supposed to do now?
apt-ftparchive being known to be broken, and with bug #341326 not being
looked after since Nov 2005, shouldn't debarchiver NOT rely on that broken
tool?
At the very least, debarchiver should explicitly recommend a work-around
such as the use of the "-a" switch to cause dpkg-scan{packages,sources} to
be used instead of apt-ftparchive. Would that be a good work-around?
