 In principle case-insensitive filesystems are not supported by dpkg, 
 because they (can) create hidden aliasing issues which dpkg will then 
 be unaware of and might lead to data corruption. See 
 . 
  
 And while changing those filenames could be done, I guess it's a way 
 to automatically trip over on such unsupported systems (although 
 perhaps in a non-obvious way). Should probably also add a configure 
 check. 
  
 Out of curiosity, what systems are those affected? macOS perhaps? 
  
 Thanks,
