I know.  But udebs are debs not following policy, dropping
documentation, licence info and all files not required to get d-i
working, so the problem should affect real debs as well.

Ah, and I forgot to include the command I used to trigger the bug.
This is the command line:

  apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade
