I can confirm this bug.

This bug also prevented me from installing the package at all, and caused a bit of drama. The installation process froze after displaying this error message, and a similar problem caused the removal process to freeze also (both while running the scrollkeeper program). This meant that I was stuck with a broken package that tried to install itself every time I used dpkg, which would freeze every time.

It seems like some other package (scrollkeeper probably) is to blame for this, as a simple typo should be a recoverable error.
