Hi,

I noticed that your package uses dh_gencontrol but not dh_builddeb.
This configuration may soon start to FTBFS if we introduce ddebs[1].

The issue happens because dh_gencontrol will now prepare the control
file for the ddeb (which makes dpkg list it as a known artefact) and
then leave it to dh_builddeb to actually build it.  But since the
package is not using dh_builddeb, dpkg will instead abort with an
error because it is missing an artefact.

Please note that using dh_builddeb would also assist with making the
package build reproducibly (or at least remove a level of
non-determinism).
