I have about no clue what you're talking about.
If you believe that dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-multicd is broken,
please try out
http://people.debian.org/~joey/NMU/dpkg-multicd_0.17.1_all.deb which
is synced against dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-dev 1.9.17. I haven't
noticed any change that would affect ``Task:'' headers, but...
If you still think there is a problem, please provide *INFORMATION*
about the problem so one can actually fix it. At the moment I don't
know what you want.
Regards,
Joey
