Public bug reported: As described in Debian bugs [1] and [2], alien 8.95.3 (and .1 and .2, but those aren't being shipped by any release of Ubuntu) cannot successfully generate any debs, ever - with neither bug patched, it will error out on attempting to generate any deb at all due to a syntax error in the debian/rules it generates, and with that fixed, it will incorrectly locate the files to be installed (e.g. /usr/include files will end up in /include, and so on).
Please package 8.95.4 for Hirsute, or anyone who wants to use alien to generate debs on Hirsute will be quite sad. (Yes, to be clear, I did verify these bugs reproduce on Ubuntu's 8.95.3 alien package, though it was sort of a foregone conclusion, since Ubuntu doesn't appear to patch it at all.)
