I wanted to build texlive-bin on i386. But I get a strange problem:

Copying source file
    -> copying [/home/frank/src/Packages/texlive2009/build-area/texlive-bin_2009~svn15596-1.diff.gz]
Extracting source
dpkg-source: error: syntax error in source control file texlive-bin_2009~svn15596-1.diff.gz at line 1: line with unknown format (not field-colon-value)
pbuilder: Failed extracting the source
 -> Aborting with an error
 -> unmounting dev/pts filesystem
 -> unmounting proc filesystem
 -> Cleaning COW directory
  forking: rm -rf /var/cache/pbuilder/build//cow.13896 

What does this dpkg-source error mean?  diff.gz isn't supposed to
contain entries of the form field-colon-value.  And debian/control which
is the first file in diff.gz has exactly this syntax.

Moreover, dpkg-soure works fine on sid and lenny.  Which command does
cow/pbuilder use for dpkg-source?

TIA, Frank
