Hmm, right when writing that I did pause for a bit thinking whether it
was clear or not, but I guess my bias tricked me. :) Let me retry:

  The file mode check failed (since dpkg 1.21.0).  This check currently
  only applies to pathnames that have a known digest and are not regular
  files on the filesystem.

If that helps, I'll update git with it.

Thanks,
