So, from the transcript you sent, it *is* building a valid package, but it's 
named "googleearth_+0.0.8-1_i386.deb", which I agree is probably not what 
you were expecting. Is this correct?

This comes up because when it doesn't recognize the version and you 
use --force, it uses a blank version, which is then augmented with the 
googleearth-package version (hence "+0.0.8-1" instead of 
the "4.1.7076.4458+0.0.8-1" you were expecting).

Anyway, I can fix this in the next version if this is all that's going on. 
If these is some other problem, like the package built is actually bad, 
that might be a separate issue, which you should file separately.
