While investigating this, I noticed that the existing list of
backup/temporary files [1] is incomplete/incorrect and we should
probably also ignore the temporary files created by
dpkg-maintaintscripts-helper and ucf.


dpkg: .dpkg-{new,old,dist,tmp} (according to lib/dpkg/dpkg.h)
dpkg-maintscripts-helper: .dpkg-{bak,backup,remove}
ucf: .ucf-{new,old,dist}

Helmut mentioned on IRC, that it would probably also be a good idea to
ignore temporary files created by dpkg-divert.
