Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.5
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-source

Just create th debian/source/format file with an empty line, and you
get:

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
 dpkg-source --before-build apt-cacher-ng-0.5.7
Use of uninitialized value $build_format in scalar chomp at 
/usr/bin/dpkg-source line 311.
Use of uninitialized value $format in pattern match (m//) at 
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm line 169.
Use of uninitialized value $_[0] in sprintf at 
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm line 48.
dpkg-source: error: invalid Format field `'

Now this message is misleading, because there is NO format field (ask
grep ;-) ). It should tell you where to look for this "Format field".

Regards,
Eduard.
