dpkg-dev conflicts with devscripts (< 2.10.26)

Hi!

Just encountered a problem while trying to upgrade some packages. I
am using a grml2hd by grml 1.0 which have been upgraded a few times
and is now set to Debian/lenny in the sources.list:

% grep -v "^\s*#\|^\s*$" /etc/apt/sources.list

  deb     http://deb.grml.org/ grml-1.1 main
  deb-src http://deb.grml.org/ grml-1.1 main
  deb     http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian        lenny        main contrib non-free
  deb-src     http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/mirror/debian        lenny        main contrib non-free
  deb     http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

I usualy use grml-testing but also tried grml-1.0 / grml-1.0-updates
and grml‐1.1.

So here the problem:

% apt-cache policy dpkg-dev

dpkg-dev:
  Installed: 1.14.12
  Candidate: 1.14.22
  Version table:
     1.14.22 0
        500 http://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at lenny/main Packages
 *** 1.14.12 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I will provide an upgrade of devscripts soon.
