Subject: dpkg: dpkg-genchanges has wrong assumptions

Date: Sat, 17 May 1997 19:10:51 +0200 (CEST)

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.8

Hi Klee,

my debian/files (fileslistfile) contains about the following lines:

xforms0.81_0.81-8_i386.deb contrib optional
xforms0.81_0.81-8_m68k.deb contrib optional
xforms0.81_0.81-8_alpha.deb contrib optional
xforms-dev_0.81-8_i386.deb contrib optional
xforms-dev_0.81-8_m68k.deb contrib optional
xforms-dev_0.81-8_alpha.deb contrib optional

No duplicates, but dpkg-genchanges only tests for existence of
the package names and marks 'em as duplicates.  No harm is done,
but it doesn't look very nice, if you'd get a bunch of warnings every dpkg-genchanges run ...

I'll include a fix:
