Indeed but nothing interesting had been fixed in dpkg-deb/* that could
justify this so I have bisected the history and it turns out that
402e247056c58a16ec81ca894135dbfcf02575d8 is the commit that fixes that.
commit 402e247056c58a16ec81ca894135dbfcf02575d8
Author: Ian Jackson <[email protected]>

Fix crash when a .deb file becomes unreadable while dpkg is starting
Closes: #386210
So it's not just a side effect of another change that could have hidden
the bug but a real fix. So closing this bug.
Cheers,
