But Fink's tar is in the dependency list of dpkg, so it should be used.
I think this is true only when fink calls dpkg, because fink does some
path munging first. However I just tried this:
sudo dtrace -n 'syscall::execve:entry { self-path = copyinstr(arg0);
} syscall::execve:return / arg0 == 0

I recently came across some software that I wanted to package that uses
file names like \vee.. (Some of the file names are names of TeX
macros, followed by a period.) Unfortunately, dpkg breaks when trying
to create a deb containing files like these; the error is something like

All that I can offer is that, when building my package in maintainer
mode, I was able to successfully build the deb. I'm not sure if
