Hmmm..that is odd. On 30 or so times running it on my alphapca56, it
still yields 'alpha'. I'll see if I can reproduce this here through a few
other methods...
For confirmation, this is the same dpkg from master, correct? Also, slink
or potato?

Yeah, that definitely is not good. Inconsistency is not a good thing :-(
