The implementation I wrote for debbugs is a fallback for when
libapt-pkg-perl isn't around; I think any language that can use a
library would be best off using it, with code that implements the C
verison of the dpkg comparison exactly as a fallback.
We probably do need a libdpkg at some point in time to get rid of this
kind of problem.
