Ok I've done so now with:
<http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=6f037003>
and
<http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=4da6f227>
Also once #486222 is fixed (next apt upload it seems), then it will be
possible to always Ctrl-Z on the prompt achieving the same result, so
no functionality lost after all!
