This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.16.0.3ubuntu5.1

---------------
dpkg (1.16.0.3ubuntu5.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low

  * Backport patch that avoids disappearing other packages from the same set.
    Packages within a set can rightfully share files and should not be
    disappeared in the case where they share all the files.  LP: #902603.
