    Oh, so it does. :( I've started looking into fixing this, but I'll
    have to ponder about it to maybe change the behavior the other way
    around :/, because as it stands, and as pointed out by Johannes
    off-BTS there are at least 114 M-A:same possibly affected packages,
    so this is really way off to even consider breaking during the freeze.

    So this is something for 1.18.x. Apt probably should also hold off
    fixing anything until dpkg behaves in a consisten way, in either
    direction.

    Note that dpkg 1.21.22 (current version in stable and unstable) is
    still affected:
