Re: About control files

[Lawrence Williams <lawrence_cecil_williams@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

DEBIAN/control is automatically generated during package building and is 
used by the resulting .deb

debian/control is the one you write yourself, with Descriptions and 
Build-Depends and stuff.

Hope this clarifies things for you :)
