Bug#359852: linux-2.6: control autogeneration code will make binNMU's FTBFS

[Daniel Schepler <schepler@math.berkeley.edu>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.16-3
Severity: important

I tried building linux-2.6 with a version of 2.6.16-3+pb1 here (to help apt
distinguish the results from the official packages), and got this from
pbuilder:

...
md5sum debian/bin/gencontrol.py debian/changelog [snip]...

This target is made to fail intentionally, to make sure
that it is NEVER run during the automated build. Please
ignore the following error, the debian/control file has
been generated SUCCESSFULLY.

exit 1
make[1]: *** [debian/control-real] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/linux-2.6-2.6.16'
make: *** [debian/control] Error 2

This means that if you or the release managers ever want to schedule a
binNMU of the kernel image packages on the buildds, the result will be a
FTBFS.
