Hi Bernhard, I'm not a dpkg person at all, but the following advice

What about spliting the thing into three separate patches then? They
are certainly three separate issues, with three different priorities,
so chances are that some will get applied before than the others.
Also, you may want to submit bugs, since they are much more trackable
than a post to a mailing list.

As I can't be sure the above implies you're aware of it, I'll mention:
development on dpkg is happening on the experimental version (1.13.4
atm), so it'd be helpful to make sure your patch is up to date.
There's also an Arch repo, so if you're familiar with it you may want
to maintain a branch.
Cheers,

In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror,
murder, bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and
the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500
years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
