Sorin, Noel.

1. Please take this discussion to the forums, or file a bug against dpkg

2. If you're not prepared to face packaging bugs, please don't use
Hardy.

3. What you see is the packaging system *working*. The purpose of the
errors is to make sure no such issues exist in a *released* version of
the system (while retaining system sanity). See point 2 above.
