This is bug #440962 in dpkg-dev which is marked as pending.
(/usr/lib/dpkg/ is missing in @INC).
You could add 
 our $dpkglibdir="/usr/lib/dpkg";
 push(@INC, $dpkglibdir);
above the require "controllib.pl" in /usr/bin/822-date.
The parselog problem is a subsequent error of this and should
be gone after this has been fixed.

However, use of 822-date has been deprecated. I think we should 
change this in lib/j2se.sh to $( date -R ) instead of $( 822-date ).

Cheers,
Andreas
