slink: kernel-package fails

[schulte@Uni-Wuppertal.DE]

Hi,

after upgrading to slink I had to recompile a 2.0.36 kernel (because of new
hardware). I did

    make-kpkg clean; make config; make-kpkg --rev printe.20362 kernel_image

and get the following error messages:

    dpkg-gencontrol -pkernel-image-2.0.36 -Pdebian/tmp-image
    parse changelog/debian: error: unable to open substvars file
    debian/substvars: no such file or directory
    dpkg-gencontrol: error: syntax error in parsed version of changelog at
    line 0: empty file

Then it stops... (The complete compile was successfull, however.)

I tried as well kernel-package 5.13 as 6.05 (after "make-kpkg clean").
What's going on? I never had problems with kernel-package before. It is
in fact one of those "silent" tools, that makes Debian so attractive to me.
