With the NMU I did a couple of days ago (1.4.1.7) the code for dpkg and dpkg-iwj should be in sync, with the exception of the missing gettext-support in dpkg-iwj. There are still differences in the accompanying perl scripts, such as dpkg-gen*. The dpkg-iwj versions seem to have some (other) bugfixes, and the NMU-versions have some new features that dpkg-iwj doesn't have yet. I'll leave it to Ian to sort those out. 1.4.1.7 also follows all the FHS 2.1(pre)-guidelines now. It should be easy to modify dpkg-iwj to do that as well. Right now I think dpkg-iwj needs three major changes before being ready to replace the NMU-series: * gettext support * dpkg-architecture support * fix the failed-assertion bug.
