Indeed; that was one of the first things I did after reading the report.
You missed one, however...

strace used to have problems following vfork()s correctly - see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2000/07/msg00089.html
(dpkg-genbuilddeps was largely replaced by dpkg-depcheck, as far as I
can tell from the changelog).

Not entirely sure what that has to with this bug report though. :-)

Regards,

Adam
