[Bug 983187] [NEW] dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by package

[Adam Conrad]

Public bug reported:

When calling dpkg-divert --add --rename --package <package>, the file
being diverted is renamed regardless of owner.  If the file is owned by
<package>, it really shouldn't be moved at all, but the diversion just
added to the DB without any file ops.
