Hi,

Henning and me were currently discussing the options here, and we might
need some referee to decide how to proceed:

So the options are backwards compatibility vs. avoiding complexity.

I think this code is not too complex, and backwards compatibility is
nice to have. We don't know how many people use dpkg-raw and fixing it
in a backwards compatible way saves time overall.

Henning thinks that backwards compatibility is not an issue, because
its easy to fix in the recipes and the complexity that goes with it has
to be avoided, because there might be bugs inside, and we have to fix
them over and over.

Both vaild arguments IMO.

Cheers,
Claudius
