It's not broken (the package works) but it doesn't conform to the Debian

I think it's a bug, albeit a minor one. If there was a technical reason to
not create such packages, dpkg would not allow to create such packages.

I have not investigated further so I don't know. It might be live-build
which is not copying the files properly, it might be apt-ftparchive which
is not generating the Packages file correctly or it might be apt-get not
finding the package.
