Because you don't have the pristine upstream source tarball, so dpkg-buildapckage considers that you are doing a native debian package, which does not have .diff file. A reason for this hapening, even when the upstream tarball is there, is that the name is wrong (often happens when the _ after the package name an d before the version is a - as upstream source often use, and is difficult to spot) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
