Bug Description

hi,

I have a repo which has a layout like this:

reporoot/packagename/debian
reporoot/packagename2/debian
reporoot/packagename3/debian

If i try and run dpkg-buildpackage from one of the package directories i get the error 'Could not find changelog at "debian/changelog"'. This is *really* confusiing, as an ls will show debian/changelog where i expect it.

It was suggested on IRC that it might be meaning reporoot/debian/changelog. If thats the case, please update the error to clarify that point.

thanks,
kk
