Actually, lenny + p-u is OK. Meaning .27 indeed fixes this bug. :)

Open questions AFAICT:
 - why was the previous upload accepted? Maybe less checks being run
   at the time, e.g. not involving dpkg-source?
 - and a related question: which is the dpkg(-dev) version currently
   running on ries et al.?
