RE: dpkg-deb --build and the / partition
Umm... At this point, finding the culprit is not as important
as making things work. I can only think of a couple of things.
One is to make more space on / (if you can do it without messing
things up). The other is to ask the maintainer (or other suitably
knowledgeable person).

du -sx / shows that a constant amount of space is being used in the /
partition while dpkg-deb is running. df shows that the amount of
space being used in / is increasing. My best guess is that something
is using disk space without creating a directory entry, so that du
can't find it... :-(
