Package: debhelper
Version: 4.9.8
Severity: normal

I think dh_make should use the symlink name and not the underlying
real name. It is important to remember what is the original package name and
how it unpacks itself.

    # ls 
    brx.src-1.6.0.tar.gz

    # tar zxvf *gz
    ...
    browsex/blt/INSTALL
    browsex/blt/MANIFEST
    browsex/blt/Makefile.gnu
    browsex/blt/Makefile.in
    

    # ln -s brx.src-1.6.0.tar.gz  browsex-1.6.0.orig.tar.gz
    # ln -s browsex browsex-1.6.0
    # cd browsex-1.6.0
    # dh_make -c gpl

    The directory name must be <package>-<version> for dh_make to work!
    I cannot understand the directory name or you have an invalid directory 
name!

    Your current directory is /usr/src/net/browsex, perhaps you could try going 
to
    directory where the sources are?
