[Bug 706354] Re: dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing

I should say, before this becomes widespread, that the workaround in
comment 14 is entirely wrong: those aren't appropriate values for either
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME or DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE, and there is no way
to set those variables correctly in /etc/environment.

I've followed up to the Debian bug for this with a fresh set of patches
to try to move this along.
