Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.3 Severity: wishlist Hiya,
I'm implementing automatic creation of debug packages, and to generate their binary control file I'm using dpkg-gencontrol. The debug package are not listed in debian/control, and thus when calling dpkg-gencontrol I get something like: $ dpkg-gencontrol -DPackage=foo -pfoo dpkg-gencontrol: error: package foo not in control info Since I'm adding the field "Package: foo" using -D, I'd expect that to work. What do you think? I'm willing to provide patches if you think this is or might be a good idea.
