Bug#46159: dpkg-dev:

[Roman Hodek]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.1.11

Hi Wichert!

I'm sorry, but there's still another bug in the new dpkg-source code :-(
It can't grok a totally empty diff file and complains about a missing
newline. (noticed with gcombust_0.1.24-1) It seems I simply haven't
thought of this case :-)

Below is a patch.

Roman
