Very good, thanks.

It is OK. In fact, this is not just a 'tiny' typing error; the error is
what we call a 'dt fout' in Dutch ('dt error'), and is a spelling
mistake often made by Dutch writers, but which comes across as very
unprofessional. The problem is similar to the English spelling issue
with "it's" versus "its".
For this reason, I would like to urge the dpkg development team to
please make this change before the Sarge release, if they are not
already planning to do so. Failure to do this will very likely result in
Debian being ridiculed by Dutch-languaged press for making such a silly
mistake in such a central piece of it's infrastructure.
