It would help if you could put your list of known deficiency somewhere... on a wiki page, in a regular mail on debian-dpkg, in commit logs if you prefer. But it's pretty disheartening to learn that you know of problems but that you hide them so that only you can fix them :-( This is definitely a bug in dpkg (for dpkg -L mksh). The default naming of foreign non-multi-arch: same packages changed and the input side was not adapted to cope with it. As mentioned on another thread, I worked to correct this, but the current layout (besides being buggy in some cases) didn't allow for a proper implementation, so I've been reworking the code to be able to properly fix this. I would love to see your work in progress on this. I'm glad that you mentionned it too because I was considering to look into fixing the cross-grade case... And what layout are you referring to here?

This only helps for the libc6-i686:i386 m-a same case (but it does
help there). It doesn't for the mksh:i386 m-a foreign case.

of foreign non-multi-arch: same packages changed and the input side was
not adapted to cope with it.
Thanks for reporting. I will look into it later.
So I am reassigning this bug to dpkg.

Unfortunately, that does not work with the version of dpkg in Sid

Oh sorry, didn't know that. This is with the multiarch enabled dpkg
in experimental.
But not for the foreign one.
`dpkg -L libc6-i686:i386' gives me a filelist, without the arch qualifier it
fails with the same error as in the cron mail.
So are you suggesting that dpkg should use ${binary:Package} ?
