I've just had a look at the relevant section of debcommit while making
another change. If a message was not passed using the --message
parameter, debcommit will run git diff in order to look for uncommitted
changes (with --cached unless -a was passed). If no uncommitted changes
are found, debcommit should be failing with the message:
debcommit: unable to determine commit message using git (do you mean
"debcommit -a" or did you forget to run "git add"?)
Try using the -m flag.
