(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)
I tried reproducing this in Emacs 28, but was unable to. Instead I got
various variations on
---
archive-*-write-file-member: Updating was unsuccessful (1)
---
which seems to be the correct response, since Emacs doesn't support
editing ar (i.e., .deb) files.
So I'm closing this bug report.
