Package: dh-make
Version: 0.40
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

dpkg-source does not care if the upstream tarball unpacks to the wrong
directory name, or even unpacks files to ./.  Many people use dh_make
for their templates, and this tool reads the current directory (at the
time of invocation) to determine the package name and version.

Please inform the user that this change does NOT require repackaging
the sourceball, and that the directory naming will be handled by
dpkg-source in all but the initial debianization:

  Your current directory is $pwd, perhaps you could try going to
  directory where the sources are?
+
+Please note that this change is necessary ONLY during the initial
+Debianization with dh_make.  When building the package, dpkg-source
+will gracefully handle almost any upstream tarball.
