Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.4 Severity: serious Justification: makes package unusable
With the attached tarball, repository creation is no longer possible.
The structure of the tarball is as follows:

Repository creation would create Packages.gz files in binary-*/
and Sources.gz files in source/ then an InRelease file. However,
apparently caused by what the changelog says fixes #800649, the
repository creation now fails unless the symlink is removed:

I will have to downgrade dpkg-dev now. Please either fix this
so that the Perl find uses the same procedure as whatever was
used before, or revert the switch to Perl.
