Can you try the following patch:

Index: install
===================================================================
RCS file: /home/archive/debian/dpkg-multicd/install,v
retrieving revision 1.8
diff -u -r1.8 install
--- install	1999/01/26 23:04:46	1.8

 			@filename= split(/ /,$_) if s/^Filename: //i;
 			@msdosfilename= split(/ /,$_) if s/^MSDOS-Filename: //i;
 		}

I don't think that I understand the code since the messages on the
screen and the code differ - at least in my interpretataion.
