Yes, this was also buggy in dpkg-buildpackage itself and that's why debuild had it that way (due to code copying), I didn't catch it in debuild, because I don't use it anymore, sorry about that! It would be nice to rewrite debuild as a very tiny shim over dpkg-buildpackage, now that hooks are supported, so that it does not need to keep up with dpkg-buildpackage changes. I thought there was a bug report for this already in devscripts, but it seems the one I was thinking about was closed some time ago. > Note, there should probably be a period at the end of the message. Error messages in dpkg (which are not supposed to be sentences anyway) do not start with capitalization nor end in a dot. This one might fail the sentence test though. :) On Sun, 2014-10-12 at 21:49:17 -0400, James McCoy wrote: > Fixed in 2.14.9. Thanks, changed locally, will include the Breaks in dpkg 1.17.18.
