At first sight, I agree with Ryan.
With dosemu 1.2.2-1 and dosemu-freedos 0.0.b9r5a-1:
localhost:~# dpkg -L dosemu|grep freedos

It seems that both dosemu and dosemu-freedos install in
/usr/lib/freedos. Must this be the same directory ? If not, then dosemu
should not install in a directory named "freedos". If yes, then try to
change both dosemu and dosemu-freedos to avoid dosemu installing in
directories named freedos.
