Hi there,

My build tools obtain package information from apt, so I'd rather have
apt patched. Besides, there's no use of this _special_ little file
otherwise.
While this can easily be fixed patching dpkg-dev, I am not sure what

Incompatibility) which I'm not that happy about.
I personally have no problem with debian incompatibilities as long as
they make sense.
My 5 cents.
