I think that this is a > policy violation, but that's beyond the scope of this bug report. What are the 2 packages involved (so that I can use them as test cases). Besides, do all the other dpkg-related tools work properly on them? If not, I will ignore the issue, if they do work it's probably a good idea to support them in any case, just for consistency. But if you can check that it's actually a policy violation (lazy guy writing here) it would be a different story. Thanks for this bugreport!
