It isn't necessarily supposed to build on woody. If it does, that's a bonus.
If not ... you get to keep both pieces.

This isn't how to build a debian package. You probably want to do:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
