That's a bit unfortunate. Did you deliberately turn off logging in
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg ?

It's expected that they are the same since every dpkg invocation
overwrites status-old, and apt usually invokes dpkg at least twice when
installing/upgrading non-essential packages.
Older versions of the dpkg status file might still be in /var/backups.
