You're welcome.

Yep, looked like that: Was the only occurence far away from the
remaining calls.
Also wondered if that call better should have been a simple
install_file() instead.

I see. Given that comment and the fact that #1023286 only affects 32
bit architectures, I think that #1024261 (in debhelper) is related and
might have the same cause as only 32-bit files seem to be affected.
(Or was #1024261 the whole trigger for that 4-argument conversion? Saw
no comment from you there so far.)

Ack, sounds as if this is probably the way to go once it's clear that
#1023286 was really the cause. I also wonder if some versioned Breaks
or Conflicts would be helpful, too.
