.dsc not generated during package build?

[Yves Arrouye <yves@realnames.com>]

Sorry if that has been asked before. I mistakenly deleted quite a bit of
Debian mail. I did check the archives for the past month though...

Whilst building my package, I get (from dpkg-dev 1.9.18, debhelper 3.0.51):

dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: building package `libicu-dev' in `../libicu-dev_2.0-1_i386.deb'.

dpkg-genchanges: error: syntax error in source control file ../icu_2.0-1.dsc

any idea about what is happening? Why isn't ../icu_2.0-1.dsc found (when cat
complains)?

Thanks,
