dh_builddeb error - why?



I'm getting an error from dh_builddeb when trying to build a new package.
The build was working previously, but today it started failing, and doesn't
really say why.  Are there any known problem with dh_builddeb?

The relevant part of the log (from fakeroot debian/rules binary), building
the deb package after an apparently successful source build, looks like:

dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_install
dh_installdocs -p xprt-common
dh_installman
dh_installchangelogs -p xprt-common
dh_link
dh_strip
dh_compress
dh_fixperms
dh_installdeb
dh_shlibdeps
dh_gencontrol
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: building package xprt-xprintorg' in ../xprt-xprintorg_0.0.7.cvs20020
903-1_ia64.deb'.
dh_builddeb: command returned error code
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1

So dh_builddeb just says the command returned an error code, without
specifying which command (dpkg-deb?) or which error.

Could this be another perl 5.8 problem?

I'm compiling on merulo.debian.org, ia64 running unstable.
