We use dpkg-gencontrol and supply a full path to "debian/control" with the -c option. The full path to the control file is used, because dpkg-gencontrol is not run from the directory where "debian/control" exists.
Do you have do run dpkg-gencontrol in the directory where "debian/control" exists? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
