The reason I didn't think it necessary to say more in the question above was because it seemed obvious to me that either: 1) A cosmetic issue takes only a few seconds to fix, or 2) It should be a wishlist item. Now, my point isn't "beat on dpkg" (and indeed, 'twasn't I that brought it up IIRC). But my point is that if something has sat there for over four years, *something* somewhere is not working. It seems obvious to me that the dpkg maintainers are doing a fabulous job. So the problem isn't in them. But there still is *some* kind of problem.
