Unfortunately this breaks translations.  On my system xgettext failed to
expand the DEBEXT macro and cut off everything after it from the msgid
in dpkg.pot.  This is how it looks like:

,----
| #: src/split/main.c
| #, c-format
| msgid ""
| "Options:\n"
| "      --depotdir <directory>       Use <directory> instead of %s/%s.\n"
| "      --admindir <directory>       Use <directory> instead of %s.\n"
| "      --root <directory>           Use <directory> instead of %s.\n"
| "  -S, --partsize <size>            In KiB, for -s (default is 450).\n"
| "  -o, --output <file>              Filename, for -j (default is\n"
| "                                     <package>_<version>_<arch>"
| msgstr ""
