*all* Debian packages are packed with a leading ./ in the filename -- that's
just how tar works.  It's dpkg's job to unpack the deb correctly, and it has
no problems doing so on any system that I've seen.  Please send your error
message to the BTS verbatim, so we can understand what you're talking about.
