3.6.1 dictionary installs (.deb) fail & bork dpkg/apt-get

[NoOp]

Can a dev please have a look at resolving the 3.6.1.x and 3.5.6.x debian
installs? Both break dpkg on both 32bit and 64bit systems and make it
impossible to install either with the included dict packages.

I've just tested by backing down to 3.6.0.4 & 3.5.5:

No issues with reinstalling 3.6.04 over 3.6.1:
Setting up libreoffice3.6-dict-en (3.6.0.4-104) ...
SUCCESS: unopkg returns successful!
Setting up libreoffice3.6-dict-es (3.6.0.4-104) ...
SUCCESS: unopkg returns successful!
Setting up libreoffice3.6-dict-fr (3.6.0.4-104) ...
SUCCESS: unopkg returns successful!

Breaks dpkg with 3.6.1.1:
Processing triggers for menu ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.1.1-1_i386.deb
 libreoffice3.6-dict-es_3.6.1.1-1_i386.deb
 libreoffice3.6-dict-fr_3.6.1.1-1_i386.deb

And as with 3.6.1.2:
$ debdiff libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.0.4-104_i386.deb
libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.1.1-1_i386.deb
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have

Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
-rwxr-xr-x  root/root   DEBIAN/postinst
-rwxr-xr-x  root/root   DEBIAN/postrm

Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)
------------------------------------------------
Installed-Size: [-26208-] {+26220+}
Version: [-3.6.0.4-104-] {+3.6.1.1-1+}

Nor did I have any issues with installing 3.5.5rc3 over 3.5.6.2.
