I have some questions, sorry for being too naïve there, but I would
like to fully understand if my assumptions are right.

The manpage of dpkg-query states that:
----- * -----
-c, --control-path package-name [control-file]
List paths for control files installed to your system
from package-name. If control-file is specified
then only list the path for that control file if it is
present. Warning: this command is semi-public, it
should be used only as a last resort solution, and if
no other interface is available. It might get dep‐
recated later on if better interfaces or the current
architectural deficiencies have been solved.
----- * -----
The above "future proof" and "deprecated later" about the same
interface, rise me some doubts.
Maybe it is just the manpage od dpkg-query that should be updated here?
Regarding the code in live-installer, If I understood that matter
right, I should call "dpkg-query --control-path" for each package
which I'm interested in.
I cannot call 'dirname "$(dpkg-query --control-path dpkg | head -1)"'
to have a common path that I could use through previous code (meaning
for all packages)
This because multiarch could give back different (base) paths for
different package architectures.
I got it?
