This is not a supported use-case, sorry. When installing Debian packages, the 
unpacking will only care about files that it knows about, that is the files 
that 
have previously been unpacked when installing other Debian packages.

Third-party package installer interfere with Debian packages installation, and 
it's not something we can really support. I'll keep this bug open, as a 
wishlist (because it's _possible_ to have some code in place to circumvent 
this, but not realistic.) Patches welcome.
