I had a _short_ look at the code and I think I have an idea where I
could hook into debsums' workflow. Here's a prelimiary patch which may
mitigate these issues:
diff --git a/debsums b/debsums
index 9319f27..a1c7ef8 100755
--- a/debsums
+++ b/debsums
@@ -462,6 +462,13 @@ sub is_localepurge_file {

+ my $correct_package = `dpkg -S "$root/$path" | awk -F: '{print \$1}'`;
+ chomp($correct_package);

+ #print "$pack != $correct_package\n";
+ return 0;
+ }

if ($changed)
{
print $root, "/", $path, "\n";
It doesn't seem perfect (if it considers a file FAILED, it checks if
the assumed package is the correct one and ignores the case if not),
but it seems to do the trick at least with this example:

/etc/init/startpar-bridge.conf OK
While it's probably not perfect, especially in the latter case, I think, this
may
fix enough of the issue to allow to downgrade the severity of it.
The main reason why I don't check this for files considered "OK" is
mainly the performance issue it would cause.
Instead of ignoring such cases we could also output something like
"FAILED-BUT-OBSOLETE" and return 0. Would that help piuparts? That
would be probably less invasive.

Hrm. I don't want to see it orphaned, as I should not maintain more
packages than now, otherwise I get hunted by the MIA team at some
point, too. ;-)
Maybe a place where more eyes would be on it, would be the Debian Perl
Group -- it's written in Perl. Ryan is also a member, so he could
easily continue to contribute while it would benefit from team
maintenance.
