Bug#43269: [PATCH] error in count of entries written

["Gregory T. Norris" <haphazard@socket.net>]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.1.6
Severity: normal

If dpkg-scanpackages is invoked to process an empty directory, it will
output the message `Wrote  entries to output Packages file.'... note
that the entries-written field is blank.  I am enclosing a small patch
which corrects this.

Thanx!
