dpkg-genchanges not working

[csmall@gonzo.triode.net.au]

G'day All,
  Well I've gotten what I hoped was a package all up and running, except
right at the end I get this;

make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/ax25utils-2.1.37a/z8530util'
make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/src/ax25utils-2.1.37a'
touch debian/build
 sudo debian/rules binary
Password:
 signfile ax25utils_2.1.37a-1.dsc
Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.3i - Public-key encryption for the masses.

[..pgp info saying that its pgp and using my private key..]

Pass phrase is good.  Just a moment....
 dpkg-genchanges
dpkg-genchanges: failure: cannot read files list file: No such file or
directory
$

so what is a list file? dpkg-genchanges is 1.4.0.8 but dpkg --status says I
have 1.4.0.17, hmm

re-installing dpg_1.4.0.17.deb didn't do anything, the versions were still
the same.  Is there anywhere I should for this problem?  I really have NFI
with these dpkg-blah programs.

Some other version wierdness, debian/control says it is Standards-Version
2.1.1.0, I'm working to dpkg programmers manual 2.1.2.2 which is for dpkg
1.4.0.8.  I made the orignal file using alien -g blag.tar.gz

Any suggestions?

  - Craig
