openSUSE/sat-solver — Issue #4: repo_deb.c should handle control file without "./" prefix

This needs to be patched: https://github.com/openSUSE/sat-solver/blob/master/ext/repo_deb.c#L574

Because:
deb(5) says: "The second required member is named control.tar.gz. It is a gzipped tar archive containing the package control information, as a series of plain files, of which the file control is mandatory and contains the core control information. The control tarball may optionally contain an entry for `.', the current directory."

A good example for causing breakage is Harmattan.

The system-services package does not contain this "./" entry, which is not a mistake! Thank you in advance!
