calling directly
DH_COMPAT=2 fakeroot -- dh_gencontrol -a -v [...] succeeds
I replaced dpkg-1.9.4 and dpkg-dev-1.9.4 with dpkg-1.8.3.1 and
dpkg-dev-1.8.3.1 and the package builds again. So there must be some
kind of incompatibility or a bug or undocumented new feature in the
new dpkg version.
Any enlightment?
I uploaded the package to incoming to see if all goes well on other
architectures.
