Failed build on mips target: need help

[Amit Shah <shahamit@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the libfilesys-smbclient-perl module. The mips build 
fails with this error:

dpkg-deb: building package `libfilesys-smbclient-perl' in 
`../libfilesys-smbclient-perl_1.5-1_mipsel.deb'.
 dpkg-genchanges -B -mDebian/MIPSEL Build Daemon <buildd@repeat.rfc822.org>
dpkg-genchanges: arch-specific upload - not including arch-independent 
packages
dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open debian/changelog to find format: 
Permission denied
dpkg-genchanges: error: syntax error in parsed version of changelog at line 0: 
empty file

The entire log is here:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=libfilesys-smbclient-perl&ver=1.5-1&arch=mipsel&stamp=1071078382&file=log&as=raw

What could be the error here? It seems to build fine on all other archs other 
than mipsel and mips.
