See the bugs of apt, >>dpkg, and/or debsigs (I forget which, and am offline) for details. The bug is #161593. Appearantly, a fix had already been committed to CVS and then reverted because it had not been determined whether "debs are ar files" actually means "debs are ar files as those produced by the debian-supplied ar". Good luck for your bug, but don't be disappointed if it suffers the same fate. Cheers T.
