Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt-build

While packaging my own packages, I have found that apt-build is unable
to even acknowledge their existance:

On a clean Ubuntu 6.10 install after running a upgrade, installing apt-
build, mc and adding 'deb-src http://packages.quickfox.org/ deb-source/'
to the sources.list:

As you can see, for some reason apt-build cannot find the source
packages, even though they are there, and apt-get can see them, retrieve
them just fine. I did run apt-get update and apt-build update before.

The given repository should be open to the rest of the Internet, so feel
free to try the repository and package yourselves.
