Thanks for your reply. It didn't help though (or I misunderstood you). Here's
the new debian/control file :


$less debian/s25manager-0.82/debian/control

Source: s25manager
Section: main/comm
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Eric Van Buggenhaut <ericvb@debian.org>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 2.0.0)
Standards-Version: 3.2.1

Package: s25manager
Architecture: all
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, tcl8.2
Description: Siemens S25 cell phone GUI manager
 S25manager is a GUI manager for the S25 series (S25, M35, M35i, etc) Siemens cell phones. It backs up and restores phonebooks, upload logos and midi files, etc.


But dpkg-buildpackage reports the same problem

[...]

dpkg-source -b s25manager-0.82
dpkg-source: error: per-package paragraph 2 in control info file is missing Package line
