[...discussion deleted...]
I discussed this with Ian J. last night and there's a possibility it's
a bug (or at least an infelicity ;-) in dpkg.
Majordomo 1.93-2 will (a) get it right and (b) should fix any broken
installation of 1.93-1 that may be around. I should get around to
uploading it this evening or tomorrow.
