My bad. 

Revisiting my work log, I suddenly realized the "source package" that I 
built from is not the one that I built from the upstream source but my 
already tweaked one. 

Thanks for your tip on renaming the control files. Now my binary package

So this is the remaining issue for me so far (As you can see I've tried 
to find the answer myself and using the build %:\n\tdh $@ is the "answer" 
that I found).

Thanks
