So, I was looking at repackaging Yannubuntu/boot-repair for Sid because when I first set up my debian dual-boot, I had to use to to actually dual boot. I followed the instructions in the wiki for repackaging PPA's, and added a new changelog entry (as well as changing the package to be a quilt instead of a native package: I tried both ways). I incremented the version to be 4ppa69-1 instead of 4ppa69, in case I needed to make further changes. However, when I tried to run debuild, I got the attached text file as the output.
What is going on here? The upstream tarball clearly exists, but debuild doesnt see it?
