Dear David,

Thanks for your explanation.

The reason that I marked this bug as important (that I probably should
have mentioned) is that it makes the affected packages fail piuparts.
I'll file a bug against piuparts suggesting it be switched to use `apt
install ./foo.deb` instead of `dpkg -i ./foo.deb && apt-get install
-yf`.
