how to bag with dpkg-deb?

[michael.renner@gmx.de]

Hi,
I just practise to make deb packages, until now
without success. I build this file structure:
renner@walnut:/homes/renner/debian/dpkg-buildpackage/tts-0.1/tmp $ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 renner   user          512 Aug  7 10:40 DEBIAN
drwxr-xr-x    2 renner   user          512 Aug  7 08:46 etc
drwxr-xr-x    2 renner   user          512 Aug  4 16:55 lib
drwxr-xr-x    4 renner   user          512 Aug  4 16:58 usr
renner@walnut:/homes/renner/debian/dpkg-buildpackage/tts-0.1/tmp $ ls -l DEBIAN/
total 1
-rw-r--r--    1 renner   user          316 Aug  7 10:28 control
renner@walnut:/homes/renner/debian/dpkg-buildpackage/tts-0.1/tmp $ cat DEBIAN/control
Package: tts
Version: 0.9.4-01
Section: sound
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.3), sox (>= 12.16)
Installed-Size: 31
Filename: tts_0.1-0.94.deb
Size: 30901703
Maintainer: Michael Renner <michael.renner@gmx.de>
Description: A simple type to speech synthisizer, supporting three different german voices.

But when I try to make the package, ther ist no deb file:
renner@walnut:/homes/renner/debian/dpkg-buildpackage/tts-0.1/tmp $ dpkg-deb -b .
dpkg-deb: building package `tts' in `..deb'.

What is wrong? Wher is the fault?

Thanks for help
