FWIW, I asked Raphaël a few days ago about his timing for this
backport (that was announced on -devel [1]) for this very reason:
this version of dpkg not being available in the backports repository
is the only reason that blocks me from replacing hardening-wrapper
with the new dpkg -based hardening build flags in packages I maintain.
I wholeheartedly understand, and support, Gerfried's concerns about
not making the backports troublesome. I feel Raphael explained why
this specific backport should not bring trouble. I volunteer to run
this backported dpkg on a few Squeeze boxes for some time, before it's
accepted into the backports repositories, in case such real-life
testing can help.
