I get permission denied for scorched3d_0.36.2.orig.tar.gz.

0.36.1 fails to build because it doesn't run configure. Removing
config.status in the clean target fixes that, but

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/michdaen/debian/scorched3d-0.36.1'
cd . && \
  /bin/sh /home/michdaen/debian/scorched3d-0.36.1/missing --run
automake-1.6 --gnu  Makefile
Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Touching these files allows it to build, however the postinst fails:

Setting up scorched3d (0.36.1-1) ...
cannot create dhelp file '/usr/share/doc/scorched3d/html/.dhelp': No
such file or directory

Not sure what's the best way to ensure /usr/share/doc/scorched3d/html/
exists.

I use apt-ftparchive.
