Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.22.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since 1.22 (does happen in 1.22.1, did not happen in 1.21.21), running "dpkg-
shlibdeps --version" prints

---
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory
---

instead of the version string (which can be obtained after a "mkdir debian;
touch debian/control")

---
Debian dpkg-shlibdeps version 1.22.1.

This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or
later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty.

This has downstream effects in tools that attempt to check the version of dpkg-
shlibdeps, as they can no longer work, e.g. "cpack -G DEB" (the .deb cmake
generator) does not work anymore.

Thanks a lot,

This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs, going behind dpkg's
back, breaking its core assumptions. This can cause silent file
overwrites and disappearances, and its general tools misbehavior.
