Bug#48699: "apt-get -b source foo && dpkg -i foo*.deb" != "apt-get install foo"



Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13

I did "apt-get --compile source fileutils" followed by "dpkg -i -G
fileutils_4.0-4_i386.deb" (i.e., install the newly created .deb file).
Afterwards, "apt-get -s dist-upgrade" tells me that apt still would like to
"Inst fileutils".  (According to the ...unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
file, 4.0-4 is the version that "apt-get install fileutils" would acquire.)

Is this a bug, or a feature?  If a feature, is this discussed anywhere
in the documentation?
