I was worried that this could have been on purpose in some cases for example to also pass supplementary options. But my reading of the code and the usage of dpkg-deb/dpkg-query suggest that this is not the case. So I'll apply your patch shortly (and your other one for #386197). In the future, please create patches with git format-patch so that you take care of writing the git log entry and we can apply it with git am.
