/*
 * Known difference between busybox dpkg and the official dpkg that i dont
 * consider important, its worth keeping a note of differences anyway, just to
 * make it easier to maintain.
 *  - The first value for the Confflile: field isnt placed on a new line.
 *  - The <package>.control file is extracted and kept in the info dir.
 *  - When installing a package the Status: field is placed at the end of the
 *      section, rather than just after the Package: field.
 *  - Packages with previously unknown status are inserted at the begining of
 *      the status file
 *
 * Bugs that need to be fixed
 *  - (unknown, please let me know when you find any)
