debian-cd does nothing else than using dpkg-scanpackages ... so this one
needs to be fixed, not debian-cd.

BTW, debian-cd uses dpkg-scanpackages from dpkg-multicd ... ie there's 2
versions of dpkg-scanpackages that needs to be fixed. I'm ccing both
maintainers.

What is the "Task: override" ? I know that packages have a Task: field but
is there an override file like for sections ?
