Thanks for the report.  The fix is this:

diff -u -r1.1 extract.c
--- dpkg-deb/extract.c	1998/10/25 22:24:30	1.1

   if (oldformat && admininfo) {
     if (versionnum == 0.931F) {
       movecontrolfiles(OLDOLDDEBDIR);

If someone would like to put that in an NMU, that would be great.

I've fixed it in my tree.

Thanks,
Ian.
