Hmmm.
I just tried "debian/rules binary-arch", and that does NOT generate
the all.deb file. So my rules file is as it should be.

I did the build with the other arches, with
dpkg-buildpackage -b

which I thought should "do the right thing" in this case.

But you're saying I should have used

dpkg-buildpackage -B 
instead, I guess.


And someone else told me that I didnt HAVE to do the other architecture
builds myself anyway, because there is supposedly an automatic builder that
takes care of these things.

Should I redo my uploads at this point, or just let things be, since my
source package upload IS a valid package.
