For those listening on the lists (and for the list archives): Sven mailed me
personally that:
1) he got the official CDs allright, but
2) he used the "wrong" dpkg version which he had downloaded from my site
a "long" time ago.
Which means there's nothing to worry about. (Except semi-clueless users, but
we're used to that already ;-)
