Okay, I tested this patch and it worked on http://allmydata.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/builders/gutsy%20syslib

Although for some reason I had to edit the line after I had done a python ./setup.py sdist to generate a tarball to transfer over to that machine...

The patch can't be applied to the current version of the code. utils.py seems to be shorter than the patched version.

The autogenerated debian/rules file has been greatly changed in the trunk (the nascent 0.4 release). This patch won't apply there.

As far as the old-stable branch, I applied zooko's patch in 94679e6 , but I can still get it to fail. I think it might be due to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507217

Anyhow, I'm going to close this as an upstream bug in dpkg. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
