Stumbled upon #545306 and #515731 in the meanwhile.
Just in case someones else is running into this issue and wants
to downgrade to older dpkg version not affected by this issue in the
meanwhile:
# echo 'int lutimes() { return 0; };' > lutimes.c
# gcc -Wall -O2 -fpic -shared -ldl -o libfakelutimes.so lutimes.c
# export LD_PRELOAD=/root/libfakelutimes.so
# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.8.6_i386.deb
