It built fine, however the changes file says:
Files: 
 32a58ad155965f636dd8000a898828fe 4283 byhand - READ-pl.txt
 7a25880aba0918f0a5dada3133f737ae 4721578 byhand - bf-amiga_2.2.18_m68k.tar.gz
 f29ec91e1a964e90df73e6bcbde10d30 1356 byhand - bf-archive-install_2.2.18_m68k.sh

As you see READ-pl.txt is still there... James said I could upload that,
since things are installed by-hand anyway... but this should not happen in
the first case...
From the buildlog:

make[2]: Entering directory /build/boot-floppies/boot-floppies'

        --define=BASE_TGZ=basecho 2.2 | sed 's,\.,_,g'.tgz \

utmp entry ("cts") does not match value of LOGNAME ("root"); using "root" at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 47.

        README-Users.pl.m4 > release/READ-pl.txt
make[2]: Leaving directory /build/boot-floppies/boot-floppies'

it is in release.sh:
do_common_pretasks()
{
  rm -rf $release
  mkdir -p $release

  $MAKE release/README.txt
  $MAKE release/READ-pl.txt
[...]

I think it has to be added to $rootfiles (for m68k), then it should be
handled like README.txt. I don't see how you move the file to its
destination on the other arches? Trying another build with that change. I'll
be back in 6..8 hours...
