dpkg does a sanity check, expecting the length of a symlink as reported by lstat(2) to be the same as the length returned by readlink(2). The only way that could normally happen would be if the symlink were changed in between the two system calls. But that should not be happening here. This seems to point to a bug in fakeroot or fakechroot. Probably fakechroot. Possibly the interaction of the two. I'd file a bug on fakechroot. -- see shy jo
