(Just try "tar tvf" without the grep to see it for yourself :-) It contains directory/file entries, but not directory entries as such. This is because (as I read debian/rules) it was created this way: find [...] -type f -print | tar [...] i.e. only files, no directories. This is just what triggers the problem, but maybe not really "the problem", which is probably just a problem in Linux as pointed out by Ben. So please don't repack the tarball. I still would like to know for sure whether or not this is buildable in buildd.debian.org. If you have any pending changes to make I would appreciate if you could make the next upload in source-only form (dpkg-buildpackage -S). Even if the package is Arch:all, it will be autobuilt and we could see the build log here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=numix-icon-theme (I'm also going to ask sbuild maintainer for his opinion). BTW: I would still like you to reproduce the problem. Please try a pure Debian stretch system (which may be a virtual machine) and a stretch chroot. If you still can't reproduce it that way, contact me privately and I would then consider giving you access to a virtual machine where I definitely can. Thanks.
