Problems with dpkg package prevent from installing/upgrading kube-bench

[marcinbojko]

Overview

[A clear and concise description of what the bug is]
During the installation/upgrade of kube-bench*.deb package several errors appear.

sudo dpkg -i kube-bench_0.6.3_linux_amd64.deb

What happened?
Error #1

dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 25638 package 'kube-bench':
 missing 'Maintainer' field

Error #2

Preparing to unpack kube-bench_0.6.3_linux_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking kube-bench (0.6.3) over (0.5.0) ...
dpkg: error processing archive kube-bench_0.6.3_linux_amd64.deb (--install):
 error creating directory './etc/kube-bench/cfg/eks-1.0': No such file or directory

Looks like extra '.' prevents from installation of a package

Clean install

 sudo dpkg -i kube-bench_0.6.3_linux_amd64.deb

Filled-in 'Maintainer' field in dpkg package

Environment

Anything else you would like to add:
Error related with installation, not actual kube-bench usage.

I'm impacted by this also, looking forward to a release which has the fix.
