Yeah, I agree. However, I tested all packages in unstable, and only
zookeeper and hbase-daemons-common segfaulted during removal. So I'm not
sure if the bug is triggered by something special that those packages
would do or not.

According to the log, it's update-alternatives that segfaults in both
case, so reassigning both bugs to dpkg.
