> Error: parsed ddeb section or priority is empty

This comes from this code in pkg-create-dbgsym:

|ddebsection=`grep '^Section:' $dp/DEBIAN/control | cut -f2- -d\ `
|ddebpriority=`grep '^Priority:' $dp/DEBIAN/control | cut -f2- -d\ `
|
|[ -n "$ddebsection" -a -n "$ddebpriority" ] || {
|    echo "Error: parsed ddeb section or priority is empty" >&2

So for some reason, mencoder/DEBIAN/control was misgenerated. I
checked the control file in
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mplayer/mplayer_1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu1.diff.gz 
and it looks okay to me.

The internal error before is weird, though: It says that the Section:
field was misparsed somehow. Do you have a local build at hand and can
check how debian/mencoder/DEBIAN/control looks like? (Sorry, can't
check it myself right now, just flying by).

It could also be a weird side effect/race condition because of
parallel builds, apparently debian/rules attemps to do that?

Thanks,

Martin
