Yes, I agree.  I originally thought that the format of the "status:"
messages produced by dpkg specifically allows for multi-line output
(by flagging additional lines with a starting space, like in the
status file, etc).  That was just a guess, tho.

(I think it should be "stripped_emsg", not "striped_emsg", no?)
