dget doesn't pass dpkg-source an explicit directory to unpack into. On stable, this leads to: adam@jacala:/tmp$ mkdir debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4 adam@jacala:/tmp$ cat > debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4/testfile this is a test adam@jacala:/tmp$ cat debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4/testfile this is a test adam@jacala:/tmp$ dpkg-source -x /home/adam/code/debian/debian-installer-netboot-images_20150422+deb8u4.dsc dpkg-source: info: extracting debian-installer-netboot-images in debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4 dpkg-source: info: unpacking debian-installer-netboot-images_20150422+deb8u4.tar.xz adam@jacala:/tmp$ cat debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4/testfile cat: debian-installer-netboot-images-20150422+deb8u4/testfile: No such file or directory Regards, Adam
