DEBIAN/control vs debian/control



I upgraded to woody and can't get dpkg-deb to build packages
from source.  My dpkg-deb is now 1.9.16 (i386).

The error is:
	dpkg-deb: failed to open package info file `openssh-2.5.2p2/DEBIAN/control' for reading: No such file or directory


There is a debian/control file, but no all caps DEBIAN/control file.
If I rename debian to DEBIAN, dpkg-deb complains about syntax errors
in the control file.

Is there a secret handshake to make dpkg-deb work with the lower case
"debian/control"?
