Hmm, this didn't help. I don't know perl very well, but looking at the dh_make perl source makes me think dh_make relies on the current directory being named <package>-<version>. So, I did the following: bunzip2 nsis205.tar.bz2 gzip nsis205.tar tar zxf nsis205.tar.gz mv NSIS nsis-2.05 cd nsis-2.05 dh_make -f ../nsis205.tar.gz This gave me nsis_2.05.orig.tar.gz (containing an NSIS dir), and debuild seems to behave normally (apart from upstream build errors), so I may send an RFS at some point. Does anyone think that it would be worth filing a wishlist bug on dh_make to allow it to work with any current directory (by providing a --upstream-version flag in addition to the --packagename)? Thanks for the advice everyone. -- bye, pabs
