Title:
  dpkg-source: internal error "Use of uninitialized value ..."

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “dpkg” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dpkg

  dpkg-source fails in the "empty-diff" test of lintian and lets the
  package fail to build (bug #742092).

  You can reproduce it by getting the source of lintian and run:

  $ debian/rules runtests onlyrun=cruft-empty-diff
  .... running tests ....
  rm -rf debian/tests
  mkdir debian/tests
  private/runtests -j 4 cruft-empty-diff
  Package tests:
  Running cruft-empty-diff 1.0-1... building... testing... FAILED:
