Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k
dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead
dh_installdirs
# Add here commands to install the package into debian/qmhandle.
install -m755 qmHandle debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/
mv debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/qmHandle debian/qmhandle/usr/bin/qmhandle
 dpkg-genchanges --build=all >../qmhandle_1.3.2-1_all.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot 
distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is usually a sign that the binary-arch and binary-indep targets of
debian/rules are just swapped.

Note: I'm reporting this as "serious" after getting the ok from the release
managers. See Bug #830997 for details.

Once that "dpkg-buildpackage -A" work properly, the package would be
suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish.

Thanks.
