Works for me.

sh-2.05b# ./busybox dpkg -i ./hello_2.1.1-1_i386.deb 
Unpacking hello (from ./hello_2.1.1-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up hello (2.1.1-1)

That using the same url, the file i used is

sh-2.05b# md5sum hello_2.1.1-1_i386.deb 
e193bf7e7555a8bb62b28a91b410e543  hello_2.1.1-1_i386.deb

That is strange.

If the data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz unpack then i dont see how this is
happening.

Ive tried a few different combinations of configure options and still
cant trigger it, im not sure what else to try.
