Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.17

.. and therefore can't unpack certain otherwise valid tarfiles.  Of

 dpkg-source -b sendmail-8.8.6
dpkg-source: building sendmail using existing sendmail_8.8.6.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: error: tarfile `sendmail_8.8.6.orig.tar.gz' contains object `sendmail-8.8.6/FAQ' but its containing directory `sendmail-8.8.6' does not precede it

Version: 1.9.14

checks.

Apparently nobody ever bothered to close it.
