When you use dpkg-gencontrol while building a multi-package source you
must tell dpkg-gencontrol which package you are building using the -p
option.

My libgmp3 package uses a line like:

dpkg-gencontrol -plibgmp3-dev -isp

for the dev package and

dpkg-gencontrol -plibgmp3 -isp

for the library package.
