Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.10.27 If there is a space between the ( and the >= in a Depends line in a control file then it won't be reproduced but just be silently dropped.
dpkg-gencontrol would ideally error.
I suspect this is in the controllib.pl somewhere but it's late and I
can't see where right now.
The attached tarball has a very simple case that fails. Just run
dpkg-gencontrol -O from inside dpkg-gencontrol-bug and read REPRODUCEME
in the tarball.
