I don't actually know why the dpkg version was created, but I think
mamona was using it basically because it's the one provided by dpkg.

Until mamona 0.2 we used debootstrap with chroot and qemu, but as
we're now using the image feature from OE, we switched from u-a-dpkg
to u-a-cworth, so probably no one will actually use it anymore.

At mamona we're using dpkg and u-a-cworth.
