This is the same thing as https://bugs.debian.org/759528 from almost
a year ago, which was fixed in an NMU. The changes from that NMU were not
included ("acknowledged") in the 20150224-1 upload.
I'm not sure how both the maintainer and the sponsor avoided
this bug while testing the package, given that it should affect any
installation with a dpkg version >= stable? Please try not to re-introduce
RC bugs that were already fixed by an NMU.
The attached seems to work. I will NMU it if required.
