Hmm.. I guess dpkg isn't smart enough to deal properly with the case
where there's a Pre-Depends: on dpkg?
How about this, as a kludge: at the tail end of dpkg's postinst, check
for a currently running version of dpkg with that multiple-ref handling
bug -- if it's running, clean up the db a little then kill that dpkg.
