I implemented this, but then realized that it cannot be done cleanly, as dpkg-deb is called from inside debian/rules and will always place the binary packages under «..», so dpkg-buildpackage would need to move the files itself afterwards. While that could be done, it might not avoid the problem you refer to. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
