Yes we (Henning and I) get that. That is the reason why the patch 
includes the line:

+WORKDIR_task-unpack = "${BUILDROOT}"

That means that only for the unpack task in the dpkg.bbclass the 
variable WORKDIR is set to the BUILDROOT variable. This makes the unpack 
step more generic so that it can be moved to the base class. Essentially 
removing the dependency of the unpack task to the dpkg class.
