FWIW, this might be a consequence of running dh_gencontrol in parallel mode.
I'm not really able to explain what is going on, though, since only the autogenerated dbgsym packages seem to be affected. The only way this could happen is if package_section($package) is returning something invalid (like "unknown") when called within the parallel section of dh_gencontrol. This can be the case if DH_Lib has not been initialized correctly before calling package_section($package) - incidentally, which is happening when DOPACKAGES is set. Given that exec discard the original state, if we hit a package that requires a dbgsym packages to be built as the first package in a forked process, the call to package_section($package) will fail to get the correct value. Does this make sense to you? Mihai
