Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.4
Severity: minor

Hello,

I moved the debian folder of an otherwise workign package into a separate 
directory
and then symlinked to it. This is helpful as a preparation for svn-buildpackage
with propset mergeWithUpstream 1 debian .

dpkg-source was not happy, which is misleading:

dh_clean
 dpkg-source -b ensembl-57
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building ensembl using existing ./ensembl_57.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: info: building ensembl in ensembl_57-1.debian.tar.gz
dpkg-source: internal error: add_directory() only handles directories
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b ensembl-57 gave error exit status 29


Thanks

Steffen
