Title:
  apt-ftparchive, apt-extracttemplates fail on packages created with GNU
  ar

Status in APT:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The ar implementation used by apt does not deal with file names ending
  in /, which causes problems with things like apt-ftparchive and apt-
  extracttemplates on packages generated with GNU ar, which do have a
  trailing /.
