Bug#5210: dpkg-source complains on substitution variables
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.2
When I was building up libelf0, I tried using in debian/control:
Package: libelf
...
Package: libelf-dev
in an attempt to not have to edit the control file when libelf 1.0.0 comes
out. (yeah, I'm lazy. :) dpkg-source barfs on this, despite having setup
substvars properly, claiming that the package has two conflicting names,
libelf0 and libelf.
I worked around it by changing the s to 0, but as I read the manual,
it should know how to use substvars to do the required job. 'Course, I could
be showing off my ignorance here. :)
