Bug#132714: dpkg forget Origin: and Bugs: ?

[Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.18

Hi,

I've noticed dpkg doesn't preserve Origin: and Bugs: information when
a package was installed. These were lost in /var/lib/dpkg/status, so
we can't see these fields by dpkg -s <package>. Is this intended behavior?

I think Origin: and Bugs: should be kept in status file to check package's
origin and/or bugs information by "dpkg -s".  This patch do this.

# I'm not sure these should be strdup(3) or not...
