Ok, yeah, I was kind of aware of that, but I forgot to fix it before
submitting the patch. I will definitely fix it; I saw some code in glib
that looked perfect. When the dpkg maintainers indicate their
acceptance of the idea in this patch, I'll go ahead and update the
patch.

No...but I don't see why it wouldn't.
