Bug#4467: dpkg-deb fails to build package

[krs@caos.aamu.edu (Karl Sackett)]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.3.14

When I try to build a package dpkg-deb complains:

mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev ..
dpkg-deb: building package `libtclobjc-dev' in `../libtclobjc-dev_1.1b3-1_i386.deb'.
dpkg-deb: unable to create `../libtclobjc-dev_1.1b3-1_i386.ddebian/tmp-dev/DEBIAN/conffiles': No such file or directory

If I give dpkg a specific file for output it works fine:

mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev ../foo
dpkg-deb: building package `libtclobjc-dev' in `../foo'.
mycroft# dpkg --build debian/tmp-dev foo
dpkg-deb: building package `libtclobjc-dev' in `foo'.
