/usr/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz 

 c) dpkg-gencontrol fails with the error message 
    failure: chown new files list file: Illegal seek

    This is an error in older versions of dpkg-dev. Upgrading to version
    1.4.0.9 should help.

	Unfotunately, that means hamm (which is broken at the moment,
 I think)
