Sent in a separate e-mail not cc'd to the BTS. I noticed after I sent it
that I'd included more than the debian/ directory, but it's small enough
I hope it won't be a problem. Transcript:

waoki@trails1:~/bts-report$ fakeroot alien -s ../MegaCli-4.00.16-1.i386.rpm
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package MegaCli: postinst postrm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
Directory MegaCli-4.00.16 prepared.
waoki@trails1:~/bts-report$ tar czf alien-problem-megacli.tar.gz 
MegaCli-4.00.16/

After making the tarball, I verified that the build fails:

waoki@trails1:~/bts-report$ cd MegaCli-4.00.16/
