Package: cowdancer
Version: 0.14
Severity: normal

I haven't been able to figure out the cause of this, but sometimes
cowbuilder will finish compiling but the *.changes file does not
reference the debs. pbuilder works successfully and gives the expected
output.  

Cowbuilder *does* work successfully for me with many packages...

I've seen this means of failure with both `pdebuild --pbuilder
cowbuilder` and `cowbuilder --build file.dsc`. In order to see the
failure that I refer to, you could fetch the source packages for tiger
and try building it with cowbuilder.  Towards the end, you'll see the
following output:

...and the resultant .changes file will not contain the normal "Files:"
section.

If I can figure out the cause of this, I'll submit more information.

Thanks for what will be a wonderful complement to pbuilder. ;)
