Actually, one interesting piece of information is that when unpacking
sources as root, dpkg-source will not invoke tar with --no-same-owner, and
the bug will show up, too!
And, jolly mess! tar will generate some random uids/gids if it doesn't know
the user and group names in the tar file. Exactly those I found in the
broken packages. So there is no Hurd bug here after all. It's a merry
mixture of bugs in tar, dpkg and the debian/rules scripts of the packages.
Thanks,
Marcus
