Right... why did you decide to report it then? Do you really believe that
it's worth being fixed in oneiric? It's not a widely encountered bug since
you're the firt one to report it. :-)

Please, despite this, can you attach the /var/lib/dpkg/status that
triggers this bug ? I don't have any oneiric chroot to reproduce it
quickly...
