As you noted, recent versions of dpkg (>= 1.16.0~) are already fixed so
marking the bug as such. I nominated it for lucid to see the opinion of
release managers but I doubt it justifies an update, you don't have to
install deb containing files >= 2 Gb on a regular basis.
** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
