Hi,

Could you say a little about where you looked and what you would have
liked to have seen there in addition/instead of.

That sounds like a bug or a misconfiguration. Can you tell me what you
have in your .bzr-builddeb/default.conf and debian/source/format in the
tree?

Let me know if the brief instructions in my other mail help or not.

Thanks,
