To fix this very issue I commited the files from upstream source right into master and now git-buildpackage works nicely. I have no idea why this happened but now the package works. > As a workaround, I created a `debian/install' and a `doc' file, You surely might need d/install and d/doc files - but this is totally unrelated to your problem above. > moved > the above two files (.dic and .txt) to `debian/', updated the paths, and > the problem is solved. Hmm, can not see that this was done in the Git repository (and it is not needed anyway.) > However, I think this is an incorrect way to do > it, since the files should be in the root directory and not in `debian'. > > What am I doing wrong here? What is the right way to copy (install) > these files? In any case you need to make sure that everything in master is identical to the upstream source (except the additional debian/ dir.) This is what dpkg-source is checking and it breaks if not fullfilled. The builded *.deb has some lintian warnings I did not dived into - feel free to ask if something remains unclear.
