I ran into this problem. I have my debian.rules file substituting a
string in my debian.control file and found that the string in the control
file has a space character following it. I removed the space and all is
well.

No, I don't think so anymore (not that I agree). dchanges seems to
complain if you do not embed the architecture into the package name you
are going to upload. This may make it obvious where to put the file in
the archive, but after that it seems very redundant.
Hope this helps a little anyway,
