Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.17.10
Severity: minor
If you remove a binary file, and then try to build source package with
the --include-removal option, the error message is rather unhelpful:
$ apt-get source -qq hello
dpkg-source: info: extracting hello in hello-2.9
dpkg-source: info: unpacking hello_2.9.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: info: unpacking hello_2.9-1.debian.tar.xz
dpkg-source: info: applying 99-config-guess-config-sub
$ rm -v hello-2.9/po/pl.gmo
removed ‘hello-2.9/po/pl.gmo’
$ dpkg-source --include-removal -b hello-2.9/
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building hello using existing ./hello_2.9.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to ../../../../../../dev/null:
