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.
Thanks,
Emilio

Hi,
I am closing this as I believe it is now obsolete. We have implemented
dbgsym packages now (using -DPackage=foo-dbgsym -pfoo for now). There
does not seem to have been any interest in supporting "-DPackage=foo
-pfoo" ever since 2009, so I doubt we will add it now.
