Dear Maintainer,

-dev package appears to contain zero-byte files. Dpkg reports the following

(Reading database ... 260712 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack libqhull-dev_2012.1-4_amd64.deb ...

Attempting to force-all does nothing:

LANG=C sudo dpkg --force-all -i libqhull-dev_2012.1-4_amd64.deb
